A friend wrote a little anti-war one act play, which was performed in one of the meeting rooms at college. He recruited my roommate to be the other character, a conscientious objector, and somehow they inveigled me into playing and singing "Draft Dodger Rag" as the coda to the piece. For free. Nowadays, that would cost a person the price of many drinks.

In lieu of pay, you got to perform for an audience!

(snicker, snicker)

I think in some circles, its called "paying your dues" to get noticed by the right people. .
