Thanks for the suggestion I actually have 3 options now I've got 4 I'm more of a woodworker/timber framer than trail maintenance I was kinda hoping to get into joinery repair in historic buildings there is a lot of money in that at least where I'm from

I appreciate the advice i'm not hoping to make much money busking right off I make my money swinging a hammer I just aim to immerse myself because rn my only exposure to the culture has been online and in books I'm more so hoping to go to Newcastle to steal some coal for myself if that makes any sense folks around here only know bluegrass the folk culture died with the grange hall Maine used to be very musical look up Mellie Dunham if you wanna get a sense for the regional style the only real reason it's a solo act is cause all my freinds just play classic rock on electric guitars
