Modern Street Performing
I have personally seen all of these people street perform
with my own eyes, I say that because a lot of famous people *claim* to have busked, and I doubt some of those claims...:
Louie (Lou) Hevly - I saw Louie first busking at the Pike Place Market on clarinet, he was rumored to have called himself "Stale Bread" in the past, now living in Spain, King of
the Royal Famille du Caniveaux. Louie has always been a true supporter of the arts, and was a person who was instrumental in helping me become a busker. He taught me a lot of things when I was in my teens about street performance and
performance in general.
