We've discussed most everything that I wanted to. Drew less interest than I'd hoped but hey, the people that responded were really nice. Guess Ill go back to...
I have seen harp players busking in different cities in the US. Those that I have seen playing fiddle-tune stuff (my definition of blue-grass), also played...
First of all, I have always had a knack to play music. Is it a gift? I don't know but I just found replication easy. Trust me, I do have my moments of self...
I do a lot of busking, almost entirely fiddle tunes with backing. Details are at www.harmonicatunes.com/busking.htm Its good practice, brings in some income,...
Tony, Good stuff on busking at your website. A couple of questions: For how long can you generally do it before running out of steam? And how often do you take...
I'll answer this online, as it will hopefully interest the thread. I use a 7.2 amp hour 12V sealed gel battery. They sell for around $40 in Australia, no doubt...
Good to hear from you Tony. I was wondering if you used any kind of recorded back up when you would play like this. I did not remember if you played with a...
The A part of this tune works great on the harp. But I'm having trouble with the B part. Has anybody in this group had any luck with this tune? I've tried it...
I can verify that folks passing by usually really enjoy fiddle tunes played on the harmonica, with or without accompaniment. I don't usually set up to make...
hi cara, with all due respect, ive been a busking musician for 10 yrs or so & its been my preferred gig even when i was playing in bands. i rarely ran into any...
These days the B part is primarily fiddle shuffle work. That puts the "melody" note on an upbeat most of time with a prior "dum-dum" drone in front in a sort...
Not a problem. I said around here. You are obviously not around here. And it hasn't always been that way here. It just is now. Many years ago, when I first...
bummer....ive often thought of austin as a mecca of sorts..even more then nashville...ive got rellatives down there & thought many times of heading for the big...
Well, don't stay away from Austin just because of some bad apples or bad moves by the city council. We have plenty of music to go around pretty much anywhere...
I am glad you included the link. You have some good music on that CD of yours. I especially liked "Invisible Man" and "You Can Dance to an Acoustic Band"....
Kyle, I work for a company in Grimes, Ia, just off highway 141, and get up there every once in a while. Where do you play the most, and maybe I'll come...
Hi Cara, thanks for checking out my link. i checked out the oldsettlersmusicfest site..man that looks like a blast ,time elements & schedules will likly...

I'm almost sure that if someone turned the lights off, electricity would be shooting out of Cara head! No one should know that much about one subject! I would...
Hi Molly, Maybe you'd call it bluegrass (but I doubt it) -- have you ever heard Iris DeMent's song about never getting out of Coeur d'Alene? And re bluegrass &...

Hi Doyle. I do use MP3 backings for busking. I burn these on to a CD. In my view, its easier to do it this way, rather than just playing solo. I use Band in a...

Yes, we would have to set a speed limit wouldn't we? How about 621/2, that would include hyways and freeways and all. Fair enough? Then our problem would be...
