Thread Name: A Busker's Tale
Subject: RE: A Busker's Tale
Years ago, I was hanging out in Jackson Square in New Orleans, listening to two guys who were playing jazz. The money wasn't falling very well, but the crowd was getting bigger. Finally, the younger of the two stood up, and announced that he would now do something he rarely did, but to please remember that the money goes INTO the case. He cleared a path on the bricks, moved back 30 paces, started sprinting, then did 3 roundoffs and a back flip. The crowd went nuts, the cash fell like rain, and they went back to busking, only this time profitably. Sometimes you just got to get their attention!

LOL, Blues
