well, I have a rehearsal tonight and I will probably get there an hour early so, to kill some time I might try my hand at a little busking out on the street. I doubt I am going to get any donations, that area isn't to crowded at this time of day except for a bus stop nearby. But, It will be a first for me, I'll kill some time, get in some practice and do some busking all at the same time. And who knows, I might end up being a regular busker.
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
Video or GTFO.
Oh and Good Luck ☺

A local ham buddy of mine used to busk with his mandolin all over Boston.
Later he played with a very cool band in Nederland, CO for a while.
He's "played" in New York city a few times too. But this was, like, the '70's man. :cool2:
Hardly plays anymore, the talented fingers make more $ doing fancy finish carpentry.

Used to do that with some of my Cal Band friends back in the 70's. We'd play jazzed up Christmas music outside of popular local bars in San Francisco. Usually worked out to about $30 a piece for seven people, a nice hunk of change back then. That was back when hauling around the sousaphone was not a big deal!
Today that would get you interrogated if not simply harassed for being a public nuisance.That was back when hauling around the sousaphone was not a big deal!

Not in SF. As long as you stay out of Seacliff or Pacific Heights, you'll be left alone.Originally Posted by KG4CGC
Even though the sousaphone was only 35 lbs., it still made your shoulder hurt after carrying it around for 3 or 4 hours.
I tried it once, but the donkey kicked me.

I was seeing a few street musicians in downtown Greenville during the months of May and June. July, August ... nothing. One was an African/Jamaican percussion group. Really talented guys. The others were younger, guitar groups.

Have fun, John, and remember: whatever you do, don't fuck up! No pressure or anything, but don't fuck up!
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
No Vivaldi please. Stick with the easy stuff.
