 Willie Nelson sold the rights to Nightlife for a few bucks. I have made as 
much as $100 for playing 3 songs and as little as, well, whatever I spent on 
booze that night because I played for nothing.
I'm playing Saturday night with a local band, we have worked up half a dozen 
songs. I went to 3 rehearsals, spent some time at it on my own, and I haven't 
talked them about pay. I might get paid and I might not, but I'll have fun 
either way.

Still a fool for the Harp
