Karen got upset with me on the street. She actually asked if I had a license. Yes, a license to shred! This helps my multi tasking talents. To keep playing while simultaneously telling idiots to get lost is all part of the skills you need to survive out there. Good luck with calling the police. I’ve tried that many times while actually having a real reason, like being assaulted, and they still don’t answer the phone. At least she didn't ask if she could play my guitar for a dollar. Keep in mind this is a busy urban downtown area with an average ambient noise level of 100 db. Are you enjoying my daily live concerts? Please support the channel.

Did this for 5 years. I regularly faced not only verbal abuse, but physical assault as I worked a few blocks from downtown eastside Vancouver. I'm surrounded by addicts, drunks, and people who should be in mental homes. 2) I'm unemployed. I lost all busking work 2020 (it was banned) I had a very bad year and then had a serious brain aneurism in April 2021 where I almost died. 3) If you liked the performance, please think about supporting me on patreon/paypal tip/bandcamp as DONATION is the only way I survive. 4) I'm writing my own songs for 20 years.

Many thanks to those that have supported me! It means a lot! 6) I get asked this 100 times a day so here's the answer: I play on the street and not in a band because all the clubs closed years ago due to disinterest, high rents, no profitability. I used to lead many bands from 2006 to 2018. That's all gone. It's also a lot more hassle, and less money, to run a band than play by myself. 7) I get asked this 100 times a day. "Why don't you try a better spot?" THIS is the best spot. How do I know? I've tried all of them. This spot is even better than Granville Island which is all tourists. Vancouver does not have many spots to play. Maybe 3-4 down ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGgABcskSak

What is the song called? Who wrote it? This is from a gig in 2011 at the Heritage Grill, a bar restaurant run by the mafia in Vancouver. They used to do many drug deals in the back room. They had live music every night. The place burned down last year, no doubt for the insurance money. This was our only live gig with this singer, when she guested on 4 songs.
