sorry for digging this up again but i saw one today i really liked.. a guy with a rather old piano (a real big one, on wheels) and a dog playing on the street. people were standing everywhere and listening, it was very good.. he was playing jazzy songs and you could hear him sing at the other end of the street

There were three girls playing in Liverpool today: chamber quartet type stuff, but with just three of them. They were fantastic. Nice people, too.

"Spare change for a dollar."

Been hearing this daily when I walk down the street near work this summer from this young lady squatting on the corner sidewalk. Yesterday I answered, politely, "Sorry, I don't have any change." I really didn't. She said, "A dollar will do, then." I stopped and looked at her and asked sincerely, "You're asking for a dollar and you'll give me a dollar? A dollar for a dollar? I don't get it." She became irate and started yelling at me, "No! Spare change OR a dollar. Spare change OR a dollar." I walked away embarassed.

I could swear all this time she's been saying, "Spare change for a dollar."

I saw them too. I had to buy a suit today.

I thought I saw you in Speke today. You were driving a white car.

They were really good weren't they?

I wasn't in Speke though, and I don't drive.

This is a popular spot for busking here in my city (and only two blocks from my home). There is one fellow who likes to drink in the bar located right there, and then sing. Awfulness. There is another guy who plays these african drums sometimes too, he is very good, and very freindly too...though, I'm not giving anymore smokes to him.

The police here like to hassel them.

There was a pretty cool group of guys playing some kind of North African or Klezmer type stuff at the foot of the Jubiee Bridge, near the London Eye, yesterday evening. Fantastic stuff, it was, but I didn't have the time to hang around.

I love buskers. The more the better. There are much worse things people could be doing with their spare time.

I'm sure I'd get bored of them if I had to deal with them all the time. But I think it's kind of a nice thing, having music in the city.

there's one guy in antwerp who stops playing and gives you a piece of chocolate or a present if you give him something.

some time ago in brussels i saw a band called babylon circus play in the middle of the street. they were supposed to play in a cafe but decided the place was too small and warm, so just grabbed a megaphone and took the thing outdoors. pretty damn great.

buskers at tube stations always depress me. especially the bloke at london bridge. it's nothing against him or what he does. he just always reminds me of going to work.

The report from Asheville is that 90 percent of them here are lost 60s-generation acid casualties or 20-something hippie-wanna-be burnouts trying to make enough cash for their daily pack of cigarettes. They all play the same Dylan, Simon and Garfunkle, and Dead songs on 20-dollar guitars and have no singing voice, just a lot of bravado. The streets are full of them. The other 10 percent are mediocre folksinger-songwriter types who go on and on about the mountains.
