ChaosCat Buskers, minstrels, & street musicians? (17) RE: BS: Buskers, minstrels, & streetmusicians? 11 Apr 01


*chuckle* My Pitch? Errr... C? Kinda depends on the material. As for what I ~do~... guitar, vocals, bodhran, asst. other percussion, a little mandolin, though not recently. After I posted, I found a really old thread on busking, and had some fun reading that, but the most recent post was back in 99, so it's just as well to re-open the subject I suppose.

I've been pretty much full time pro busker here, did the market for about ten years, until the politics got too deep for me, and there were too damned many musicians and too few spots. I was one of the first to play the bus tunnels when they were new, and the acoustics were to die for, but I didn't do very well financially there. Nowdays, I haunt the U-district and Broadway, and do very well, though I'm too old for that 10 hours a day, seven days a week haul. That was alright when I was 20, but nowadays, I think it'd kill me.

Anyone reading this thread Scadian types?
