I wouldn't give my eye teeth. I don't think I even have any eye teeth.
Can't see any better with my mouth open then with it closed. But if I do
have some I'm keeping them.

But I would give $15. Fifteen dollors to anyone who can make me play
"Juke" note for note in tempo without having to practice too much. Fifteen
more dollars for learning the guitar part, and if thats not enough, fifteen
more dollars if I can play it with the harp in a rack while playing the
guitar part. Thats a total of forty five dollars. That's how much it is
worth to me. The money isn't so important as the "not having to practice
too much" part.
