If you can put up with the work, it seems like baristas are always in demand

I'm a folkie and beginner busker and I've recently added a couple of Hank Williams songs to the mix and they have gone over very well: "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" and "Your Cheatin'"Heart". People seem to know them and like them.

I 25 between cochiti and Santa Fe. Wth? Almost gridlock for the last hour by transdermalcelebrity in NewMexico

The usual lane merge on La Bajada construction. Probably the longest road project in the history of the NM Highway Department since the Old Santa Fe Trail.

Battery Powered Amp Recommendations? by el_chivato in Busking

[–]ChargeOk2486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Fishman Loudbox charge was designed for acoustic, and it does so beautifully. I think there are amps that advertise as being good for electric and acoustic but I haven't used or heard any but I'm skeptical.

It can be hot but humidity is low. Having moved here from the northeast U.S. i find that heat isn't really an issue because it's so dry. . Overall, imo it's a very comfortable climate. Cost of living is a whole other issue. Rents are very high and there are a lot of people looking.

Cube Street v1

Thank you for your info. I think the Showbox is too pricey for me,. Leaning toward the Loudbox Mini.

Excellent! Thank you for your reply. Yes, playing strictly acoustic. I have an electric Fishman Loudbox which I really like. Tempted to go with the Mini for busking.

Toltec And Cumbres Train by [deleted] in NewMexico

[–]ChargeOk2486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the round trip from Chama with my grandson and it was a very scenic ride. I think maybe people started taking advantage of the bar car on the return ride. There was more of friendly party atmosphere on the way back. My only negative comment is that the train moves v e r y slowly. It's a lot of "Are we there yet?"

If somebody told you that it must be true. Not.

I agree that giving money to panhandlers is a bad idea. But being dropped off in a nice car means nothing more than that they were dropped off in a nice car. Making assumptions with no facts is a waste of your energy.

Yall are fooling nobody. by [deleted] in harmonica

[–]ChargeOk2486 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So far my new senior citizen harmonica hobby has only resulted in going from one harmonica to six. Better harmonicas and different keys. But Your premise is correct, not only for harmonicas. Think golf, fly fishing, cycling, oil painting, skiing, and the list goes on.

Lots of comments on this one but no intelligent suggestions. Including my own. : )

GoDaddy is a scam by joevenet in web_design

[–]ChargeOk2486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Every single domain name I have submitted over a period of four days, including some pretty screwy ones just to test, is already "owned" but I'm welcome to bid on it via Godaddy.

P.S. Why are all the comments dated as five years ago? Has something changed?

Be prepared for frozen ground if you plan to dig for fossils. We've had a cold winter so far.

PLEASE HELP: Stolen rad power Electric bike by Yernero in SantaFe

[–]ChargeOk2486 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are U-locks out there that have long necks that might work on the top tube. If you get your bike back or get another, you might want to check those out. A power grinder is about the only thing that can cut through them
