Busking - How I Finally Learned to Make a Living in the Music Industry.
The word busking comes from the Spanish root word "buscar", which means "to seek". From the wandering troubadours of Europe, to present day street musicians, this traditional art form continues to prove a valid form of musical expression as well as a surprisingly reliable form of income.

Professional busker Mama Mia d'Bruzzi discusses the ins and outs of street performance in an open forum ranging from the roots of busking throughout the ages to the modern practical considerations that every performer should be aware of.
