LH -

Agreed 100% with what you say, but the point was that a good, and versatile, female singer in a busking situation is not necessarily permitted to follow the same rules as a male singer in the same situation. I don't see any conflict in agreeing with that point as fully as with yours.

In my case, it's academic. My town licenses massage therapists and escort services, but absolutely prohibits busking. A proposal to legalize "street musicians" has been recently sent to the city and county officials, but probably will result in another "$60,000 study" with no useful result - the standard response here to any suggestion from the public.
