A update, many NY theaters now call the cops on buskers, who, VERY red faced ask one to move. It is true, we used to do great seldom less than 100 bucks a night. Great comradery, I used to play the pipes in front of the theater Da was playing at, used to get 10 bucks a night from Brian Kieth, a real gentleman. Then, I think it was Dancing at Lunasa opened, or the Irish play right after it, and there I was doing great with an appreciative audience, and the effin theater manager called the cops.
I hope he finds him self on what passes for welfare today and soon.
Good luck to my sister and brothers of the street, Das baxtalay Gypsuria!
