Testing out Facebook live while busking.

VIRTUAL TIP JAR! https://www.musicxray.com/tip_jars/12975

https://bemuzic.bandcamp.com

So, I tried Facebook Live while busking yesterday. Used free Boots wifi which was opposite where I was playing.
The signal was a bit weak so the picture kept breaking up...sound not too bad.
I was just going to do one new song, but it seemed rude to stop while people were watching, so I ended up doing it for over an hr!!
There are some bits where I stop and talk to people that are going to be really boring...on reflection I maybe should have stuck to the one song!
Anyway it was fun seeing people drop in and watch from different parts of the world : -)

Really enjoyable to see you busking and feel like we're on the street watching you play. Will leave a tip in your jam jar on Wednesday when we're not in negative. Got your CDs that are/were listed on eBay in mind for soon too. They're like Pokemon, "Gotta collect 'em all" as the slogan goes! Thanks for sharing and keep it going.
