optional buskers?

[an-art-worker.livejournal.com]

Anyone know if there is a pause button for Davis T buskers? Can I pay them to not play?


(yes, I love the arts, I love music but I don't love being a captive audience to someone with a cheesy amp, a boom box and a volume control that (apparently) goes to 11)

And that guy is horrid too. He is one of the most talentless buskers I've seen.

He lives in my neighborhood, and I often see him at the bus stop (for the 88 bus). Whenever I would see him on a Sunday he would ask me and anyone else around if we would let him ride for free as a "guest" on our bus pass.

I actually like most of the buskers I've seen. He bugs me for his attitude, and bad opera lady was just... bad. Otherwise, I mostly enjoy them, and there have been a few who I've thought were pretty amazing - Mary Lou Lord, for instance.

I sometimes wonder if bad opera lady was mentally-impaired, in all seriousness.

There was a certain "How can she not know??" quality to her performances.

Yes! Also, she wasn't even really even understandable.

is she still around?

When I used to live in Davis 10 years ago I walked to Porter to avoid hearing her

Don't tell me she is still there

I haven't seen her in years, myself.

I saw her at Porter the other day. I've also seen her at Central.
