twenty songs is hardly a challenge. i used to play about a thousand songs and tunes on a regular basis while busking. i get bored otherwise. i trotted out my best pieces when i thought someone was really paying attention but i tried to do everything i know before repeating, except as siad whn they to really show off for the prospect of cash--or requests.

now regulation cuts both ways. its nice to have licences to cut down the competition. its awfull to see terrible acts making a few bucks an hour on a spot where i could make fifty an hour on a good dayz9more at christmas) on the other hand when i played in places with no regulation its nice to not have to deal with the bureaucrats. they have no understanding or sympathy with buskers and you have to brown nose them.

part of busking long term is to be able to roll with all the awfull punches and not get upset nor retaliate.

i don't use amps but i do sumpathize with classical guitarists and piano players who really do need them.

as regulations go those are pretty tame/
