GUEST,June | Busking is begging? (188* d) | RE: Busking is begging? | 22 Feb 10 |
In Seattle, busking is legally defined as begging, which is a good thing for musicians and may be one reason why Seattle has such a vibrant music scene. Since it's considered begging, you're allowed to do it. If you tried to sell shoelaces on the street, you'd need a permit, and good luck getting it! But you can support yourself, marginally, by playing music on the street, without anyone's permission. And there's nothing like busking on a daily basis to develop your skills. |
