Diary Of A Busker Day 39 Tuesday February 8th Winchester High Street (opposite Clinton Cards, Time: 1:05 – 4:35pm). Several people come up and say they like the article, none stay for very long, apart from the man who I met a few days ago (friend of E.

Not too cold, but wet and clammy so I had great difficulty playing, as the hands sort of stuck to the strings. Made nothing untill I started playing The Third Man, then four pound coins in five minutes, from four ladies… Read more →
