DP: The first fiddle I bought, I was 12 years old. And it took me two years to pick up bottles in the road trying to get enough money. It was nineteen dollars and ninety five cents for the fiddle. That's the first one.

KP: So how much would you get per bottle?

DP: One Cent. It took me two years until I had enough money to pay for the fiddle.
