[Harp-L] RE: why i love busking....



Sorry if im late to this topic.....but i have to saythat  i think ,playing on the street is a MUST if you wanna become a musician,specially a blues,country or folk musician....

If you can catch the attention of the people in the street,then when you got a gig and the people come to see you, its really easy to carry them.....also its a great way to show the blues or the harp to many people who never heard of it.....you meet lots of people ,sometimes make some money that many times save your ass,you meet pretty girls,and lot of party......and you play as long as you want and when you want,...... you feel free!!!!............damn....i even miss it a lot!!!!!

By the way, Steve,the only time when we had problems with the police was in your town, Hamburg.LOL.....we was playing in the U-Bahn(Metro)and we didnt pay the tickets,so they took us to the police station to sleep there for some hours......later on,we ended up singing La Cucaracha ,with the police officers!!!!!

One of the coolest things you can see in Berlin,its when the romanian gipsys that play on the the metro,after they finish playing Besame Mucho or My Way the whole day,the get together and they start playing like Mother*******!!!!!!The elder showing tips on the accordion or fiddle to the younger.....they start getting hot(and drunk....)thats a must,that should be in every tourism guide of Berlin!
