99% of the buskers in this town are rubbish. But every now and then you stumble across a great one...I filmed THIS yesterday, they were standing on a corner in the red light district.So, busking in general then, yes or no?
Busking is the practice of doing live performances in public places to entertain people, usually to solicit donations and tips. Those engaging in this practice are called buskers. Busking is a British term used in many areas of the English-speaking world. In the United States they are more often called street performers or street musicians.
I used to play on the street back in the day. Artis was on the street here back then too.
Lots of good players.
Boston has some of the best I've seen.
I heard this guy in a train station in Chicago who sang and shook a little egg, he was great. I used to see the Flying Karamozav Brothers here on the street.
Barcelona had some great street music. The guitarist who was always in front of the Picaso Museum was great.
I think Mr Supreme started dancing on the streets.

Most people who lived in Portland and Seattle in the early 80s know him from his street performances. Everyone else knows him because he did a song with a grunge band.
the other day this lady was playing guitar and violin at the same time and was pretty good, made my ears perk up for a second.
This other regular guy does sam cooke and otis and carla joints, sometimes with a few backup singers that sometimes kill it. Although if I hear the song "cupid" again my head might explode.
I know we've talked about them before, and I've heard samples of their stuff online, but I saw them live at Union Square subway this past weekend, and they had everyone upstairs in the walkways and downstairs on the platforms grooving out.
