Hmm... I've never busked intentionally, but occasionally I play outdoors in public places, like when waiting to meet somebody, or to give my apartment-building-neighbours a break from my fiddle atrocities.

I've never put a case or hat out in front of me, but three times people have come and given me coins, once somebody tried to give me a hot dog, and my favourite reward: once, when I had been playing the fiddle for only four months, I was practicing outside and someone asked me if I was a professional.

Maybe this summer I'll put a case out and see if I can get some paper money, or good vegetarian food...
