We didn't start busking with the same amount of knowledge that we gained after we'd been at it for a while. I quite agree with Poppagater and dermod in salisbury. Also it's hard to believe that you could keep it up if you didn't really enjoy the whole thing. Sigh!! I was slim and had a good "bottom line" then. Now I would have to act the plump and grandmotherly type.
There's a picture of me as a busker on my photo page here at Mudcat. There's one of Poppagater on his page too - if I remember rightly. Joy
