Dolly Parton on playing acoustic, sounds a lot like what Ricky Skaggs was saying 4 or 5 years ago: country.com "If it makes money, fine," she reasons. "If it just makes the money back, fine. And if it don't, that's still fine. I've always said that I'd work as a waitress to get enough money to go do my songs and then I'd sell 'em out of the back of my car if I had to. "It's almost like I had to get rich in order to afford to sing like I was poor, in order to sing the kind of music that I know ain't gonna sell to any great extent," she says, relishing the irony. "I'm definitely not planning to get rich on this. I'm not doing this for money at all. For the first time in my life I don't have to consider having to make a living, having to pay for a bus or having to pay for a band or buy costumes," Parton adds. "I'm making a decent living doing some other things and so I can afford my music now. I can afford to just really do it for the art and the joy of it, and that's a good feeling."
