That's something quite new to me.. there are many musicians and students of "Conservatori" in Italy, willing to play, and some even accept playing while people are chatting at a party, or eating. And there are many people who would like to have music without paying musicians, because , as a friend once told me ( he had refused to play) "you know, waiters are to be paid (--and there is no money left for musicians--)"
