I have to admit that I've often been tempted to try my hand at busking, especially now that I'm in between jobs. Two things keep me from it: one is the very real fear that I'll see other lawyers with whom I'll probably have to work in the future, and secondly my guitar skills are pretty modest.

On the other hand, I've got a decent voice (people tell me), and I'm unlikely to run into colleagues in the Fisherman's Warf area, where my repertoire of sea songs and shanties would most likely be appreciated. So: should I try it?
