I've often asked myself why we do it. Why do we expose ourselves to rudeness and utter disrespect? Is it for the money? or is it a need to share what we have with others? Seems to me if it's for the money we don't need a hell of a lot to live on! I never made enough to live on but it was enough to make it worthwhile doing. I'm sure I could have made a lot more if I wasn't so lazy and really didn't need to do it. Maybe that's why I didn't play in joints for people who think "Tie a yellow ribbon" is a folk song.

Nope, not worth it. I'd much rather be part of a song circle.
