[MusicTlk] Finding remote work during the corona virus shutdown?

[Al Sylvestre]

Mark Elf, who my first jazz guitar teacher referred to as a "businessman
with a guitar" (and an excellent jazz shredder, IMO), makes part of his
living by promoting other guitarists for a fee, naturally.  I don't know
how generous he is with free advice, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try
him at markelf.com.

Good luck.  I admire your persistence and tenacity as making a living as a
musician in the US is exceeding difficult.  Congratulations on the impeding
addition to the family.
