[E] Well, [G]
you know, I started playing a lot of high school things.
And, you know, you go to people's houses,
and people would pass the hat and raise, you know,
50 cents or a dollar for that kind of thing.
And then I went on, I finished high school
and went straight into nightclubs
and all through Louisiana and Texas.
And it never was a job one way or the other.
It was always just a way of life, you know.
So I never did really think about if I had money or didn't have.
I knew when I didn't have money, you know.
So it was never thought of as a job.
And in fact, even after Polk Saddled Annie came out
and it was playing all over the world and it was real big,
I went home to Louisiana to see my dad.
He said,
I've really been hearing you a lot on the radio and all that.
He said, but what are you doing to feed your family?
He said, you need to get a job and take care of your family.
I said, well, this is my work, Dad.
You know, he didn't
