Always impressed with Cary Baker's enthusiasm about music and proud to be included in this book. I still think like a busker, no matter where I go, and to this day I tip the first good busker I see in every town. I'm over on the substack making nearly weekly entries as well. Writing poems, essays, sometimes busking in my home studio!

Good to hear from you Tim, and I did not know you were on Substack. Am checking out your posts as I write... You do seem like true modern troubador and I welcome your input. Similar to yourself, I always try and support writers/musicians/poets as possible and down to quality of course. Cheers!

This book sounds like a great read, I will explore that further.

But on the topic of street music, whilst living in Ipswich, England. I always used to enjoy hearing Ed Sheeran busking around the town!

He is very talented and he was even as a teenager. Especially using the foot pedals to create his then unique sound.

The teenage Ed Sheeran also regularly played Ipswich music day.

Hey Mark, that's the kind of comment I was hoping for. Ed Sheeran as a busker! Love it, I can just imagine him - and I figure he was pretty good? Cheers.
