Day One

Today is Day Two of the 365-Day Busking Project (I'll come up with a better name later).

On day one I made $18.25, a bottle of frozen purified water and a song recommendation: "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" by The Band. Musical advice is as valuable to me as the bills people toss. It feels like a compliment when folks are hear me play and it triggers a memory of some other great tune. Many of my best numbers have come as a result of such tips.

Smiles are always gratefully accepted as compensation too.
