Wow, would've loved to hear Brian doing "Zen Gospel Singing" on the corner..could've even dressed the part like a Bhuddist Monk.. By the way, I told a friend about me starting this thread. He asked, is there anyone out there making any real kinds of money performing as a street musician? He means monies like 15-20,000/yr. I told him I'd ask.. Anybody know of personal experiences or acquaintences who are making an average to better than average income? I may be wrong, but I get the impression that most Buskers are rather on the poverty end, but do it for the love of it. How much truth is there to that? And any of you out there offended by that perception?
