Waiting for the bus home today, I realized I had 15 minutes so decided to play a few tunes on the old Seery. While I was playing, someone walked by and dropped a few coins at my feet (I didn’t have a case or jar out - I was just playing to play). Well, I decided to get out my cavellaro roll, lay it flat and put the coins on it. 15 minutes later, and $3.56 richer, I caught my bus home.
Considering I was 30 feet from a jackhammer, not at a good busking location in KC, and it was 90 degrees with about 400% humidity, I think it was 15 minutes well spent!
I think I’ll have to try a prime location on the Plaza a few evenings this summer…it’s kind of addictive to have money thrown your way.
Forget the unions don’t tell the IRS! $3.56 for fifteen minutes, that works out to $14.25 an hour, hmmmmm could I live on that? Imagine if you had a better place, say in front of an office tower at lunch time.
Jayhawk, get a telescopic white cane and a pair of sunglasses. It will net you about 40% more, I would guess. Nothing dishonest about it, you have not told anyone you are blind.
