Don Partridge seen summer 2002 working Cornwall. He does it sitting down now.
Busking outside Waitrose can upset Waitrose, but it'll take a good hour before bobby arrives.
Sainsbury's cool.
Hate loud buskers esp if amplified ,with pan pipes, saxaphones,etc.,
Morris dancers are O K ,most tunes in D or G and a drum helps to give you a beat so you smile and strum in time and tune.
George Papavgeris has written a song called 'The Busker'
Its quite good.
Busking is a good way to learn songs,and to iron out the pitch for voice, and to mould songs to your personality and interpretation for the 'indoor gigs'
And I hate music students who form string quartets and play the 'corny classics'. I wait till they finish and yell 'Give us a song' and 'Now do it without the dots'
and
'do you do any Dylan?'
No soul them.
Ar'n't I a bitch?
