Re: THE BUSKER
Bob, if you had shouted the bar a couple of times you would have discovered that your singing had improved greatly.

I guess if someone comes up and gives you a positive comment about your singing after you have done it, you must be doing something right, that is one way to look at it. That is the way I look at it when I sing publicly at least.
To some extent, it comes down to song choice too. Plenty of people like Roy Orbison songs, but not everyone has the vocal range to be able to do them justice, as an example.

I would agree with you and Neville on the fact that they are at least having a go, there are plenty of people out there who aren't game to do it.

Re: THE BUSKER
Any busking is better than no busking, that's what I reckon. Even a bad busker points the way to higher things...

Re: THE BUSKER
Yeah, I've done my fair share of busking. I reckon it's a noble profession!

Re: THE BUSKER
I like the busker who is covered in silver like a robot, if you put some money in his collection he comes to life like a mechanical man and picks up the money. No money and he manages to stand stock still like an unpowered machine.
