Hi All
I feel that I 'may' be on the verge of my first goal in fiddlin
That goal is 'street performing'. In the Byron Bay area of Australia it's a common thing to come across people performing in shopping areas, some good, and some of questionable talent. But even the 'questionable' seem to make a buck 
I feel that with a little more 'polish' I'll be ready.
Any advice from those that have 'been there' would be greatly appriciated.
Why street performing you may ask. Well, just to take my passion of the fiddle to others..... And the money certainly couldn't hurt. 
Seen it all. Done it all. Can't remember most of 
..... What was I saying????

My suggestion is to work on a program (repertoire) and when you feel ready, record the whole thing and look at it. Also, they way you look while playing is the next most important thing after the way you sound. Try to look happy and relaxed if possible

When i'm ready for busking,, I think I'll buy a wheel chair and wear dark glasses.

I'm starting on this part now at 1 month in. For some reason, I play with my mouth slightly open. Not a pretty look. I guess I'm concentrating on reading the notes

Mouth slightly open can be nice. Especially if they see you smiling
