A lot of people are playing some really interesting pieces all over Middle Earth. I think It's time for the "Hat of the Minstrel" toss it on the ground like a campfire, and those who really like what you are playing can click on it and donate coin..
Sounds like an outstanding idea to me! My band is lucky to have a person or two stop for our performances on Meneldor, but we did get tipped a gold piece once lol. Throwing down a collection hat would be a neat idea : D
My band's playing a set of new material in Michel Delving this Wednesday the 20th, shortly after 10pm EST. "You don't need a penny, just to hang around. But if you got a nickel won't you lay your money down!"
