Busk in public.

“I did this loop 2x at a spot on the main street, but I wasn't loud enough to drown out the car noises, even with max volume, the lightest touch setting, and slamming down on the keys at full force (this sort of messed up my playing but whatever). So I moved to a quieter spot at the edge of a public park where there is still decent foot traffic. Moving turned out to be a mistake. Some crazy homeless person sat down next to me and started talking shit and would not leave for about 10 minutes [...] So I ended up leaving halfway through my third loop, which was fine, not because of the h8rz, but because I was extremely hot and felt like it was time to go. I did NOT anticipate just how heavy all of the gear would be to lug about a half mile to the spot. I played for about an hour and 15 minutes and made $8, which I'm honestly pretty fine with.”

“First time busking in so many years, and it was great! Really enjoyed playing, watching so many different people pass by, stop and listen, some even sat in front to watch! So surprised to make some money, after an hour and a half I stopped, as had a bit of cramp in arm/fingers. Was absolutely shocked to see I had made €32! Wasn't expecting that at all!”
