Busking

I played down at St. Lawrence Market for a couple hours today. It was a strange day. My usual spot was taken, so I played in the south building for a while, then after a sandwich and a chat with an old friend, I played outdoors on the north side until I was driven in by rain. Today was sunny, warm, cold, windy, rainy, and at one point this afternoon, we had a little hail storm.

I wasn't playing at my best today - I tried out a couple new tunes and butchered them pretty badly. It was a fun day though, because there were a number of kids around, and they were dancing and playing around, really enjoying the music. I let a few kids push the buttons on my button box, while I pushed and pulled the bellows, using the bass to try to hold it together as a bit of a crazy tune. The kids had a great time, and I did too.
