Diary Of A Busker Day 2512 Monday March 24th 2025 Winchester.
I’m finding out that the weekdays here are pretty much dead so I’m not coming in so much, especially Mondays and Tuesdays so fuck knows why I’m in today because I’ve played for an hour and 20 minutes at the top spot and accumulated a grand total of £4.14p and I’m definitely starting to feel sorry for myself. On top of that, and maybe because of it, I’ve forgotten a section of music – the end C#minor bits of California Girls. I’m extremely embarrassed and mortified! I turn the volume off and go through it but no joy, I can’t remember it. I remember the chord shape but not how to play the Brian Johnson vocal melody that echoes the “I wish they all could be California Girls” bit. Oh dear. I really try but after a few goes I’m forced to give up because I need to get on with things. I’m going to have to remember to dig the TAB out when I get home.
Anyway, there I am, feeling sorry for myself and worrying about the onset of early Alzheimer’s, when my Saviour Of The Day appears in the form of a well-dressed old lady, grinning ear to ear and clutching a £10 note. ‘I just wanted to say thank you. I’ve walked past you so many times and not given you anything but I love your music, so thank you so much.’
