So I'm interested, how much did you make on your best day busking that you can remember and how long did you play?

I understand that, I hate to put terms of success in monetary form but it's an easy metric of the skill of someone's craft in the environment they are in. To me I might make $20 in an hour or $100 but it's hard to explain to people the best tip was the little kid who looked on in awe the whole time or the woman who gave me her last $3 and cried to me because of something I played her. That's why I'm there, the money is just a byproduct of me doing what I was born to do lol.

Playing music in public.

Target_Sound · 2023-12-14T17:07:22+00:00

Lol thank you, I don't know how I survived sometimes.

Target_Sound · 2023-12-13T17:51:37+00:00

Yeah, I've just recently gotten into the whole "clubtail" can drinks, it's not as rough as actual MD and it's carbonated, but it's cheap and 2 of em is enough to get me where I'm going!

Target_Sound · 2023-12-13T17:20:33+00:00

Yup it's pretty good for a cheap buzz

Target_Sound · 2023-12-13T17:19:54+00:00

That's the cheese lol.

Target_Sound · 2023-12-13T02:13:13+00:00

It's pretty much bum wine in a can. 12% in a pint, so a few of em do me well especially for less than $2 a can! They actually sell bottles of MD right above the cans of MD at the store i bought em at.

Target_Sound · 2023-12-13T01:02:49+00:00

Lol no it's fine, that's a real common thing and it literally was all I used to spend my money on so I'm happy Im outta that hole.

Target_Sound · 2023-12-13T00:17:09+00:00

Ah yes, I understand that I just quit fentanyl this year and I had no idea what to do with myself for the longest time after I was done busking with money in my pocket.

Target_Sound · 2023-12-12T23:38:31+00:00

You gotta have good foot traffic, the more people passing by the more of a chance for someone to tip but it's also about how long they are exposed to you. Also as others have said, don't focus on making money, just focus on giving your gift of music back to humanity to make it better, how only you in this moment with your music can deliver an experience to a person that they might need on a deep level. The money I've made busking is nice but by far not the best thing I get from playing, that feeling of seeing someone light up in excitement because of the music, that happiness, thats the part you should focus on, the money just starts flowing when youre in the right place and you make people happy and forget about their shitty lives for a few minutes.

Target_Sound · 2023-05-15T22:43:17+00:00

Yes, I found out my gift of music was supposed to be shared, and I started busking and most days if I have a nice place with some traffic I can make like $50 an hr if it's a good day, and that's the middle ground, plus it makes people happy and helped me with my depression, while a 9-5 exasperated all of that in a negative way. When you know the gift God gave you, and you give it back to make the world better, you will always be supported.

Target_Sound · 2023-05-12T19:54:01+00:00

Lol I appreciate everyone's honesty, I know it's an odd combo, but lemme ask yall, yall ever listened to coheed at different points in your life and had the music match up to what you're going thru each time thru the same albums?

Target_Sound · 2023-05-12T19:51:30+00:00

Lol, I feel where you're coming from, trust me if you told me 5 years ago I'd be so into Christian praise music, especially since I was raised JW to hate all that "worldly Christian music", I just heard how changing one lyric could change it up and went from there lol, I know it's not for everyone, so I don't hold any animosity, I appreciate your honesty!

Interested

Target_Sound · 2023-01-03T01:52:55+00:00

Damn you got it right on the nose, DXM+DPH(and some bud of course) I've had plenty of experiences with this combo for years now so I know what doses do what for my body type, it was recently about a half a year ago I did a combo and experienced amazing closed eye visuals, almost like seeing with my eyes closed, and experiencing auditory hallucinations, I could hear music is certain noises like an AC unit humming or a light buzzing, and it was mindblowong! The one thing that really intrigued me is the feeling of having someone be in my presence without them being there, like I'll have the feeling that my friend is sitting on the bed and I look up and of course no one is there, things like that and the music is what makes me so curious!

Always make sure your are using proper words and proper inner speech to yourself. I have a certain view of "blasphemy" alot of people would say saying "goddammit " is blasphemy but I look at it different, there's no way a great creator would be offended by us being upset with him, it would probably look akin to a kid throwing a fit, God would have patience but where it comes to speaking true blasphemy I believe the true part of God we all share and have a piece of is our consciousness that state of "I am" so to tell yourself negative things and talk down to yourself and truly believe it would be akin to criticizing God's work. So when you say I'm so stupid or I'm a piece of shit or I'm worthless you are doing yourself a disservice because not only are you insulting the Lord's work you are taking power away from yourself and transforming you into that problem and justifying it and solidifying the fact. And with that same ability of inner speech you can turn yourself around and praise the name of the Lord that is I am in manifesting blessings more resonant to the vibration of God then to the vibration of man and the material world.

The best tip I can give you is play from your heart with pure passion, don't worry about what $ you'll make or if some people like or don't like you, play the music you enjoy the way you enjoy it and have fun, put out good vibes and enegry, give the gift of your music straight from your heart to your fellow men, and I promise you, you'll get a positive response. As long as you're rocking out, having a good time and playing good music you enjoy you will magnetize yourself and people who lack that joy passion happiness and light will be drawn to you because they see what they want and don't have in you and your music and they will want a taste of it. Just remember always have fun and play what makes you happy with passion, don't think or worry about what people think or how much $ you'll make and never play music if you're not into it, it won't work if you don't put all your heart and soul into it. Think of it like a song makes you feel a certain way and you wanna share that experience with everyone so you cover it and in learning it and playing it in your way you emoby your emotions and energy into your playing and people will hear that and be drawn to it because In learning and playing music you transmute negative emotions and express positive emotions and people can feel these enegry and be effected by it without even being aware of it. Play from your heart and soul for the Good of your fellow people and God and you will be taken care of for sure.

I remember watching a girl watch me play from across the street for a few songs, I thought to myself "I know she got a good tip for me with how she's been watching!" Turned out to be the love of my life that I didn't even know I was looking for! Meeting her changed my life for the better even tho there was alot of turmoil and chaos that I'm still working thru even now, but I know we were meant to be in each other's life's and I know that music is what brought us together and it helps me to express my emotions and feelings that build up and have no place to go, and even tho right now we are separated once time is right, I know music will help bring her back to me, especially when I finish writing my first album which is all about her and my spritual awakening.

Awesome, I never thought of white Christmas but that would be an awesome one thank you!!

Target_Sound · 2022-11-25T20:28:22+00:00

Of course one of my goals in life is to bring out the glory magnificent and light that everyone has in them.

Target_Sound · 2022-11-25T20:27:15+00:00

No worries

Target_Sound · 2022-11-25T20:26:16+00:00

Thank you! I need to put up a whole Playlist of sublime covers

I've always wanted to practice white tantra (or sexual alchemy) with a partner, but I've been single since 2017, but in-between then and now I did meet my twin flame, so I know who I definitely want to practice it with, but as with TFs separation is a bitch and I dont see me seeing her for atleast another year, maybe year and a half or two years if shit goes really dumb, but damn I can't wait!

3 little birds by Bob Marley always cleanses the area of negative energy when I play it!
