Jim and others,
     I apologize for these posts that went out from my computer rather 
mysteriously
last night.  These were matters I had wanted to address last year and started 
but did
not finish my thoughts and saved the starts of those posts in "mail waiting 
to be sent." When I opened the "mail waiting to be sent" it just went out 
immediately as it
was.  I am sorry for the confusion and the waste of your time.  Sure shows 
how I procrastinate.
     And Jim was right.  When he made that original post that I quoted, he 
said virtually precisely what he said he would have said.
     I like music on the streets.  Always have.  And I seem to get a thrill 
out of most all that I have heard, good and not-so-good.  A couple of guys I 
know make a lot more
money on the street than on a gig.  That is, if the weather is good, and if 
they get their favorite spots before someone else does.
      Here's to the street musicians,
      Best wishes to them and to you,
