Not busking related, but Noble Savage's story of the little girl reminds me of seeing Alasdair Fraser play a Scottish Festival in Plantation, South Florida.

He was in the middle of playing a driving set of reels when this little black kid about seven years old came out ofthe crowd, up to the front of the stage, and started dancing to the music. He was doing his own Michael Jackson-esque movements, but he did it all SO right. The audience were entranced, and Alasdair kept playing until the boy got tired.

It was a moment of pure magic, a genuine instance of music sans frontieres.
