Daisy McLintock Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 These guys are a crack up. I absolutely love this unconventional music. Looks like they're buskan in the streets, but its a promo piece. Interesting that they add blowing into the bottle as an instrumental. I can hear that blowing, too. Nice slight touch. British band. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbdyrRlYR2E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollies65 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 The youtubes go in the 'Come Around And See Me' forum. That's called jugband music...for obvious reasons, and the song was top 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollies65 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 BTW...what does "buskan" mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Well in England it means that you are sitting by the tubes playing a musical instrument trying to earn money..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy McLintock Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 Jugband music, okay. I like it!Raspbernie can move this thread if he likes, no problem.To add to what MJ posted, it means performing in public places for tips and gratuities.I was surprised to learn that there are many very successful famous artists who started out this way: Gerry Rafferty, Joan Baez, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Jimmy Page, Dolly Parton, Carlos Santana, Simon and Garfunkel, and Rod Stewart.Many movie stars were also buskers.Artists busk part-time or full-time for a variety of reasons:For money, for fun, for attention, to socialize or meet people, for the love of their art, to practice their skill, try out new material, and to be in front of an audience.Some earn just a little money, some earn a lot. Elements and other stuff determine the amount they make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
