9th May 2011 In August 2009 I busked in Edinburgh centre using a Peavey solo. I had made backtracks of simple drums and bass lines for blues standards, and played lead guitar or harp. I set the levels in my garden using a decibel sound level meter to match me playing my acoustic guitar. I had no complaints about noise and could ease the volume up or down, according to background noise. But no matter how hard I tried to be caring of others the bastard Pan Pipe bands just overwhelmed everything. If they come from such beautiful and mystical places why don't they bugger off back to them. Fletch
