Busking is the practice of performing in public places, such as on the street, for tips or gratuities or voluntary donations. It comes from the Spanish word Buscar—to seek (fame and fortune) or the Latin word Buscare – to procure, to gain. Busking could take many forms, clowning, dancing, singing, fortune telling, mime, living statue, one-man band, puppeteering, juggling, reciting poetry, even Christmas carolling. One’s ‘pitch’, where one performed, was very important. It had to be a place where there was a lot of traffic, lots of people, high visibility and little background noise.
