Wow Tony, loved your Big Sciota. Smooth!
I'm working on fiddletunes myself and know how hard it is (did you hear the 
3 tunes I uploaded on youtube by any chance?)
Keeping the timing & breating right is definitely not as easy as it sounds.

Hey man, you've got the busking business really worked out and thought 
trough. Nice, and full of advice (hey that rhymes :-))

Thanks for the clip(s)

Oh, looking at your clip reminded me of something, although there's a risk 
of theft, we never stood too close to the open guitarcase or the 'hat'. For 
some weird reason, depending on the spot of course, people are afraid to 
walk towards the musician. Is it the 'drawing the attention to themselves at 
that moment' or is it they're afraid of the open space or are they just 
afraid of the artist?  ;-)
