Most artists have been half-starved, lived in tar paper mansions and took any job they could get to keep them go- ing until they made enough money in the arts to keep the wolf away from the door. Even after they get popular, it takes a lot of bucks to keep things moving. They have to pay the band, pay the road manager and back up singers, pay for a bus, mo- tels, etc. You can see how the bills would mount up. A lot of today's Nashville stars held some odd jobs while reaching for the moon. The legendary Jimmie Rodgers was a brakeman on a freight train until his health got so bad he couldn't take the strain of the cold and hard work. Later he lived in hobo jungle. Moe Bandy, who had a hit with a rodeo song, knew what he was singing about. His former job was that of a rodeo clown.
