    Back in the late 80's, there were just two street corner blues clowns you might say in Harvard Square and one has a harmonica and the other had a banjo and sang. Incredible! I thought it was for me! They were bouncing up and down with facial expressions about 2 in the morning! This post was edited by CosmicWunderkind at August 11, 2020 12:43 PM MDT

  • That sounds pretty awesome, lol.  It'd get my attention for sure.

      Well, the performance itself was later, but let’s just say that the coming attractions were exhibited on the street . . .

  • I hope the reviews that came after the feature presentation didn't include burning urination, discharge, or sores.

    looking back I think it may have been a pedo. there was a bunch of children including myself and this guy just letting it all hang out, no way he didn’t feel that draft 
    i hope he’s dead now

  • This took a dark turn...didn't know children were involved.  Hopefully he is out of society.

    Kinfo singing and playing The Story Of Old King on the streets of Cambell River. Kinfo is a famous Vancouver Island Jug band that started out as buskers. Cheers!

  • If you could join a jug band which instrument would you want to play?  I can't see myself ever wanting to playing anything besides the washboard.

    Probably the upside down washtub that has a broom stick in the center of it and there is a string  on the stick that runs down  to the tub and when you pulll on the string it makes a reverb twangy sound. Cheers!

  • That's a good one too.  We should start a band.

    I can’t settle on a most impressive street performance because I have been going to Busker festivals for almost every summer of my life as long as I can remember. Not this summer though, meh.  

    I do have a most memorable one though. He was at one of the festivals I went to maybe 7ish years ago, juggled footballs and danced. He pulled me out of the audience at the start to be part of his show. I was absolutely mortified lol. I had to grab any of his footballs when he dropped them juggling and he put some weird red cape or apron thing on me. Would keep making comments to the audience about me grabbing his balls-_- It’s all kind of a blur to me now Cos I was just kind of waiting for it to be over. At the end he sat me in a chair and did some weird non strip tease dance to me. Pretty much scarred me for life and I never made my way up to from row for a busker festival again lol... I found a video of the busker who put me through this torture so posting him here.... I never forget the names of my enemies:) Also,I really remember how sweaty he was and awful he smelled... don’t bother watch the whole video... but can’t you just tell by the first few seconds he smells like axe body spray and BO? SCARED ME FOR LIFE :)  thanks remind me all this....

    It was a few decades ago in Belfast. A street performer (I assume that's what he was) made a whole row of shops disappear into a tumble of rubble - and in broad daylight, there was no trickery that I could see. People were screaming with excitement and delight.
