Thread Name: Busking
Subject: RE: Busking
My daughter, 10 years old, plays cello. This shall be her 3rd summer busking at the village square. Motivated by last season's record breaking sum of $18.00 (Canadian, yes!) for 1 hour of her time,this year, she has managed to hook up with another 10 year old who sings and plays guitar and is just as interested in cold cash as she. Location is surperb with heavy pedestrian / cyclist traffic centered around a restored, lakeside trainstation turned Art Gallery... I can't really describe how it feels to be in the garden at home on a Saturday afternoon and hear the notes from her cello soar their way through this town... She always makes me promise NOT to show up on site as a bystander...so I linger in the foxglove and listen a litle longer to the finish and the applause.
