I like playing at my local park. I just sit on the bench and practice and it gets me out of the house and doesn't drive my wife nuts. She is not a fan of folk music ... Loud head banging rock is her taste.

People will come over sit and listen .. those that want to talk just walk on and don't bother ... works for me. .. free is free .. better than sitting at a tiki bar. That I enjoy and usually lots of people will sit and listen and enjoy it. Funny thing, most are young people. One high school kids went home and came back with his guitar. He was pretty good too, played along with a couple of my songs.
