They aren't very numerous in Sydney, apart from Aboriginal dancers or didgeridoo players on circular quay. Very much geared towards the tourist.<BR/>Looking at the photo again, I wonder if the girl looking from the back saw the 'trick' that you're not supposed to see?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-1164050460104139772006-11-20T14:21:00.000-05:002006-11-20T14:21:00.000-05:00Don't forget that through the Giuliani years, cops...Don't forget that through the Giuliani years, cops were showering street performers with "quality of life"-violation summonses. (I got several myself.)

They should be talking about the last days of winter. Pretty soon, New York, Los Angeles, it all might be irrelevant. Sorry about the pessimism, but how can you not be worried? <BR/><BR/>Perhaps there are fewer street musicians because only twenty, early thirty something year olds on the make and without children can afford to live in New York these days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-1163410611439114042006-11-13T04:36:00.000-05:002006-11-13T04:36:00.000-05:00he must love his job! i envy himhe must love his job! i envy himAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-1163409703401905882006-11-13T04:21:00.000-05:002006-11-13T04:21:00.000-05:00I love street artists.
