I have been busking in the city of Portland Maine for the last two years .I usualy play solo on my squeeze box,but on occasion, have played there with my 3 piece band.Squeeze box ,guitar and manolin. Playing solo is my favoite but I will admit that as a trio,we make better music. How much can you make was asked. The guitar player went on the corner and played,and sang r&b solo for 4 hrs and picked up #o.35 . The next day I went to the same corner played 3hrs and picked up $55.00.As a trio we make about the same every time but of course there is a three way split.A guitar player singing on the corner is old hat but what we play as a trio and what I play as a solo is something that they have never heard,and I might add that we do it well. It was last September that a lady approched me and asked if I was Finnish.I told her that I was of French extraction.She said ,But those are all Finnish songs that you are playing.She was from Michigan and was the daughter of Finnish parents Can't wait to get back on the corner.
