Playing in front of stores, etc...

Just wondering, has anyone ever done this to make a bit of extra money? Just sitting in the mall, on a random bench, put up your guitar case, and start playing? It seems kind of fun. I'd like to try it this summer, because I can't get a job (I'm only 14), and I'll probably be really bored. You don't have to have a permit or anything, do you?

we call it busking. you need a license to do it in some places unfortunately. not sure about where you live, but here we have to apply

Bastard! Homeless people who are supposed "Veteran of Vietnam, need money for ****** are the kind I hate. If he is playing some blues, then alrighty, give him a buck for some drugs.

"Busking" sounds pretty fun too, but I suck at playing my bass as of right now. Good luck, hope you play some good tunes and get some good money.

****** = drugs " - the space
Dunno why it's blocking it.

One guy I know just plays chords in any random order he likes. It's pretty awful.

There's a homeless man in the town where I live who played in a popular band decades ago. He doesn't play on the streets, maybe someone kicked him in the face.
