First Friday Busking

busking We heard the street crowds are really good in Fredericksburg, VA during First Fridays.  So we got a babysitter and headed out to the streets not knowing what to expect.

I’ve played on the streets of Waikiki for years as a teenager by myself, but my wife had never done it until last night – and she was a champ!

When we first started playing last night I did my usual looping stuff and had fun with that, but no one really gave us any attention.  Once the wife and I started singing a bunch of cover songs together, groups of people would stop, stick around for awhile, and throw money in my hat.  We made a bunch of great new friends this way and here’s a picture of one of the groups that hung out with us.

Thanks so much to the people who generously took money out of their own pockets to show us how much they enjoyed listening to us sing.  We had a lot of fun performing and will likely do this many more times in the future!
