i thought i'd put this up as it's all about a busker and the hardships he goes through. it's a thankless job.

good tune Phill.

hi grah, is camden a suburb increte?

as someone that has to follow his wife around the shops, buskers are a welcome respite, camden council want to license buskers to make an extra few shillings, like speed cameras and congestion charges. why cant they let musicians do what they do in peace, they're only trying to earn a crust.

thnaks dino, we try to please.

keepitreal, glad you like it, fame at last.

i will be posting the recording soon, let you know.

grah, duhhhh, i do know my geography, even if i cant spell it...I, T?

honestly i was trying to inject a little irony.

we get similar problems down here in wales where councils are forcing pubs that have live music nights to employ licensed bouncers, effectively doubling the cost of a nights entertainment. they're just money grabbers, they seem to forget that councils were created for the benefit of people not the opposite

i've seen that before in bulgaria, sunny beach i think, where live music has to be dead quiet and finnish at 11 or 12 PM, but night clubs and rave parties and disco's(?) can go on till the early hours and as loud as they like....and all recorded crap, the world has become sick

Buskers are welcome in the city of San Francisco,they also have alot of other free entertainment all by the piers,as this is a major tourist draw the merchants make good money and so do the buskers.

Hi Phill
I enjoyed that. Though the content was a little depressing I thought the tone was quite upbeat and buskersque...:) The accordion sounded just right for the song.
I guess the lyrics strikes a chord (no pun intended) with the busking fraternity.
good job
Tony

Phil,

nice song -  not too many buskers in upstate NY , but I really enjoyed your work.  I sit on my porch and play.... wave at people as they drive by.   I think my wife offered to put $$$ in my case if I would just play and not sing !
