Most of
the stops here are and will be accounts of the busking life.
And since every busker must juggle day-jobs to make that life
possible. I'm including at least two glimpses (Would You
Like an A With That? and American Monday) into one
of mine, that of a college writing instructor from 1984 to
2002. The narrative material in both is extracted from
2001: A Busker's Odyssey over on History Street.
These will be on a side-street I'll call College-de-Sac,
which, if nothing else, should serve as background for the career
change dramatized in Long Live the Queen! --an account which
also offers a glimpse into the workings of the outdoor, living
theater of a renaissance faire. Indeed, College-de-Sac
may well answer what may be the most frequently asked question in
theater: "What's my motivation?"
