[Part 2.] Is Playing For Free Always “Shameless Exploitation?”

My full-time job for over a decade has been performing as a freelance musician. Of course, I want people to pay artists and musicians [A TON] to perform live. So… when I saw this petition going around on Facebook saying we should force the Minneapolis Parks & Rec board to pay artists for every free outdoor concert, no matter the size… why did I initially feel like I disagreed with it? 

For Part 2. of this convo, I recorded my chat with Nate Babbs [professional drummer] to see if there was something I was missing.
