ONE WOMAN'S GUIDE TO BUSKING IN AMERICA. Thursday, May 31, 2012. Although you have come to predict certain aspects of the busk, it will be different each time—like weather. And by the way, weather is everything. You need to wear sunscreen. Even if it is cold. Even if you are going to stand in the shade. The sun is unrelenting here. Respect it. She compliments your voice, which is enough to refresh it for another thirty minutes. Friday, May 25, 2012. A spinach and black bean omelet is the breakfast of cha...

ONE WOMAN'S GUIDE TO BUSKING IN AMERICA. Sunday, June 17, 2012. It’s the weekend. Dress up. People are walking the ped mall as something to do, not to get to a destination, so be presentable and sing out. About the dress… It’s a nice touch since this is Sunday, and so many people are out that this is like a real show. But be mindful each time you stoop down for your water, or to protect your dollars from the wind. They stand, the lean on trees, and one by one by one by one they come forward with dollar b...

ONE WOMAN'S GUIDE TO BUSKING IN AMERICA. Friday, June 7, 2013. Busking is like riding a bike, but this bike has been in the shed for a year. And although you have ridden it around the driveway, you will find that this was not adequate preparation for the noon lunch-rush in the Old Market. The generosity of Omahans, however, will surprise you just as much as your faulty lyrical memory. Either he is your number one fan or he is simply ogling. Keep singing. The dollars seem to come out of nowhere as soo...

ONE WOMAN'S GUIDE TO BUSKING IN AMERICA. Thursday, June 13, 2013. Nineteen seems to be the magic number of songs you can get through in 75 minutes, and after that your fingertips will be shredded. Don’t let a half-full water bottle tempt you to go on. Save your fingers for the weekend. Sing Recover from your mediocre debut the other day. Start with Wilder Than Her.

ONE WOMAN'S GUIDE TO BUSKING IN AMERICA. Thursday, June 7, 2012. Because one day he might remember it. Do not underestimate how lucrative an original song can be. "Robert Pirsig" is like a beacon, and by the time you close your eyes and sing the words "motorcycle maintenance" to the heavens, three different potbellied white men have approached with money, their pony tails blowing in the wind. One of them drops a wad and you know there are at least two folded bills. Keep singing. Average hourly busking ea...

ONE WOMAN'S GUIDE TO BUSKING IN AMERICA. Wednesday, June 13, 2012. It’s getting hotter. Busking season is almost over, unless you get creative or start working the morning transit crunch. If you are already sweaty by the time you get to your spot, you are going to need a new spot by the summer solstice. It always seems like people know that song, but you’re not conversing with the coin-givers, so you wouldn’t know. You know only to keep singing. You feel lucky that on its first time out busking this song...
