I have never had the talent, nor the audacity, to busk. I have always admired those who dare,& I have certainly tossed a coin or two in the hats. The only busker with whom I have conversed enough to develope a rapport has been alanabit (whom I was sure would respond to this thread even before I opened it!), & if he is an accurate representation of the general busking populace, they are a fine lot!
