Have you ever done that before? It sounds like it would be a blast, $50 or not.

It seems like it would be a fun thing to do once in a while.

I had contemplated about practicing for a while and playing a harmonica at a local farmer's market, but I don't really think I am at all good enough for it. I can't do requests, I have to make it up as I go, and everything I play tends to sound the same.

Nonetheless, playing at a farmer's market wasn't actually my idea. My friends suggested it after I played during lunchtime as we lounged around at our high school.

I bet if you do it in a gathering of people or a high traffic area you can meet $50 easily enough. Do you have a permit? some cities require you to get a permit for that.

couple times. Me and a buddy made $20 in 15 minutes in front of an Albertsons one time.

It was promptly spent on a nice fat nug. :smile:

$20 in 15 minutes? Shit... I'm walking down to vons and spending an hour there. Maybe if I look like I need the money really bad people will be generous despite how mediocre I am.

Sounds interesting. I have thought about doing something like this before, it's just that i always mess up when trying to perform in front of others. Good luck, let us know how it goes.

I believe it. When I'm in town and see somebody playing music I allways try to give them a little something whether they are any good or not. It takes some balls and it just makes everything much nicer---it creates a really good atmospere.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a cat attacking the strings of a guitar, and 10 being someone who would play backup for a record company's recording artist, how good would you say you are?

8 maybe. I need to learn theory, but i can still rip it up on acoustic or electric. I write my own music.

I'd give an "8" up to $5 of my cash as I walked by, if I had at least $40 in my wallet.

But I'm unemployed, so that's a lot of money to me.

a "10" I would give up to $8

I hardly ever see anyone trying this here anymore. It has been what seems like years. I wonder why more people don't try it?

Yeah that's a good honest way at least. Around here the only way people make money on the streets is bumming lol. I see that all the time.

Oh, so you are right in the city? Usually in town people ask for like quarters or a dollar. Then outside of town there are the gas station crack bums out there with gas cans like "hey can you spare a few dollars for gas?". Then I see the same guy walking away, with no car and talking to the crack dealers hanging on the corner.

This was the most dangerous city to live in California in 05.
