I really want to but these days I'm working a lot when they have been playing. Perhaps when my job slows down a bit I'll get to do it more.

I did it for a number of years in Montreal Metros and parks...Singing and playing music, not dancing; but I'm sure the experience was probably the same. Sure lots of people pass you by, and some try not to look as they don't want to feel obliged to give you something (and no dear, I wasn't one of those people who held a harmonica to my mouth inhaling and exhaling...I wasn't too bad) but once in a while we would get a crowd....people sticking around, clapping their hands and yes, SMILING. We did make a good deal of money, but I think the best thing was to know that we put a smile on someone's face after a very long and stressful day at work. In the end, that is was made it all worth while. Well, ok, to be honest, the money was probably what made it all worth while as it put food on our table; however, the smiles fed our souls...or soles in your case. :) Nice read. Thanks Hey Carl, I’m so glad that your first attempt at busking was a good one.
