In the early 80's a girlfriend and I met up with a couple of musicians in a youth hostel in Dublin and we decided to go out busking. There was a Hurling championship going on, lots of people out in the streets. Made a good bit of change, the unlikely four of us, an English and a German lad (both guitarists) and two American lasses (she on fiddle and I singing and dancing a bit) playing (mostly) Irish music on the streets of Dublin. You all know, of course, it's considered good luck to give money to buskers! (And not just for the buskers!)
