How about busking off a boat? On the same thread...My friends and I did very well in the seaside resorts of New England USA during the summer. If somebody has access to a friend with a boat it's lots of fun for everybody involved to talk your friend into taking you along while they cruise the coast. I'll bet there are even boater's websites where you could hook up with boat-owners that are planning cruises. (Anybody know any?) We did the Connecticut and Long Island coast and having a musician on board ship immediately started a party at every Marina. The wealthy people (or not so wealthy wanna-bees)who hang out at marina docks are bored and looking for human contact. They are also quite generous with tipping. Several places that come to mind are East Haddam and Essex CT on the river, Mystic CT and Greenport, Long Island. Very appreciative audiences with the time to interact, and that's part of the reason why I busk anyway
