I'm a street musician, working different areas of downtown San Jose.
First off, let me say, if you're even remotely related to me, which only applies to a small handful of people, DO NOT come find me.... I don't want to see or hear from any of you!
I play a mix between pop, rock, and jazz.... From Beatles, to Herbie Mann, to movie pieces. It's a profession that's serving me well, usually.
There are those days where the 'passer bys' are incredibly cheap (like today) and I almost make enough to eat.... Then there are the other days, that allow me to earn enough to go hit the 'EZ8' motel, to shower, and pig out, and watch the idiot box.
The people and entities that step on my gig though.... Lets see... Besides the cheap assholes, that are just cheap, we have the right wing religious zealots. Nothing screws up my business more than some religious lunatics screaming their hate message.
Today, at this moment, theres two groups that I find repulsive and not worth their weight in dog crap.... The cheap shits, and the religious zealots.... take your pick.... assholes are assholes....
So.... the answer to your question, "what do you do".... I get up in the morning, I make noise, go to the library, make more noise, then go sleep.... exciting? Hell no. Does it work for me. Yes.
