A friend of mine and I were sitting outside the Maritime Museum rehearsing. We weren't even looking at people going by. All of a sudden the public started putting money in his guitar case (which was between us not in front of us). We made about $20 each in less than an hour. I hope there wasn't a law against it!

FYI - most USA cities license buskers so that the government has some way of knowing what income taxes they should be getting. God forbid the government should miss their cut of our little lives.
