RE: Busking Online - Musicians Taking Music Off The Streets To Create Online Tip Jars

in #music7 years ago (edited)

I ended up in Jail for three days for playing street music. The Cops gave me a ticket for playing on the Monterey Bay Wharf which i never payed and a couple years later when my van broke down in the same area, Cops came, ran my name and hauled me and my dog off to jail in Monterey Bay, CA.

Here's the video i recorded while getting the ticket.

I wish i could have captured it on the video as well but the cop actually gets heckled by people passing by. Everyone liked what I was doing except for the Police. It's why I hate them and I will never ever RESPECT them. When they're not jailing me for music Police are busy stealing my property/home.

Any it was this post that spawned the idea of a "busking-trail" i'm officially starting work on today to help street musicians like myself who are making the transition to online performance.
