Walking around Picnics at the Park for my job at the library a bit ago, I was fortunate that the music was being put out by my old friend Colin Aberdeen.
He was setting up as I walked toward the library LPL2Go cart, so I stopped for a catch-up chat. Felt wonderful.
And he was performing his from-the-heart guitar-and-voice when I was on the way back to the library. As I pulled my iPhone from my pocket, Colin gave a little wave.
Nice to be back, yes.

I like buskers a lot. Rather than just begging for money, they provide an actual, invaluable service in the form of free music for the air. The Barenaked Ladies got their start busking, and parlayed that into an actual music career!

Colin was getting paid to appear at the picnic, but I do agree with your love for buskers, Catxman. We had a beloved busker here in Syracuse, Elijah Harris, who in the horror of 2020 was taken from us by a hit and run driver while riding his bicycle. The city mourns his loss so much.

Absolutely! I am really trying to enjoy being able to be outdoors and I’m still not in big crowds. I am appreciating the ability to mingle a bit —carefully—because I know it may not be there again this autumn and winter.
