Playin' on the Street

Playing Christmas carols, being in the Salvation Army, helping out the nice S.A. lady for fun, playing for coins in any way shape or form, let's talk about it!

LOL!! More likely to get Euros when the turistas are really flowing, we get tons of ppl from Europe, they're fascinated with this place, for some outlandish reason. Just because it looks like every old Western movie you've ever seen ..... well, someplace has to, right? The Germans eat this place up - flocks of 'em visit here, Seligman which is the big tourism stop on Rte. 66, etc.

All looking for the Karl May characters of their childhood - maybe a serape, sombrero, and mariachi music, then? Harder to work in Winnetou with either trumpet or mellophone, I'd imagine.

Those guys are pretty wild!

Only one of me though!

Jude I can just see dressing all cowboy'd out and playing ..... I do wear those wrangler "pro rodeo" jeans but that's just because they're good and strong, and they even have a pocket that's made to hold a trumpet mouthpiece! (Levi's, booo, has a watch pocket too but it's all wrong)

Eeviac · 02-25-2008, 09:03 PM

LOL had to check on who or what this Winnetou was, now that's laffs galore since the old family story is we're part Navaho.

Cowboys... guitars are cheap, and you'll be getting one of everything from that music store eventually, right? For the mariachi business, I didn't mean a group, just mariachi-style trumpet, like the Guy in the Ruffled Shirt. Also, considering how much having a dog seemed to help in Prague, I'd suggest getting a horse ("rustling up" a horse probably wouldn't be a good choice of words here?) - more important than the right brand of jeans for establishing the Wild West impression.
