Welcome to my busking blog !
After getting my Musicien du métro license in April, I finally decided to move my little pretty ... to go to the metro station and start busking.
Yesterday I put my batteries to load for the whole night. Having worked from home, I took advantage of the lunch break to go to the nearest metro station, Bastille. Just before, I bought my foldable chair at Monoprix for 10.90 euros.
After having seen that the place where I planned to sit, was already occupied by another busker, I went throught the whole station and settled down in front of the Bonne Journée.
My hands shaked at the very first moments, I plugged all that had to be plugged. Sat all that had to be sat. Played all that had to be played.
I am discovering how wasy it is : why was I that afraid of people's reaction ? The biggest risk is that people would not care and pass their way ... but definitely much to win !
Result :
- 1h30 playing
- 7 euros
- 1 coffee offered by the Bonne Journée guy
- 13 smiles
- 3 applauses
- 1 video taken by a couple of tourists
- And an eclosion from my egg that was so hard to break !
- On the very first moment, this woman that would sing along with me "La Vie en Rose".
- This old man that would listen, pass his way, go up stairs to take the metro ... then come back and throw a coin in my guitar box.
- This old woman that had problems to walk and that would last one whole song to arrive to me.
- All the kids love music and would dance even on the saddest song.
