Do you think you would enjoy singing in the street for a few bucks if you can really sing ?

I can sing but I don't have the guts to do it in my city. I will have the guts to do it if I am in the the other country such as USA, Canada or other European countries. But in my city, people will just filled that you are unemployed and begging for money just by singing a song on the street. Cause in the traditional Chinese society, only the poor and the low class people will do that for a living. Although the world is changing but that didn't change how people will see those street singers that much. If you are from the other countries and got white looking face, it will be better for they will treat you as what the western culture would do. But for people, it is not even there are more youth doing this for fun on the streets in today's Hong Kong. Some of these singers are good but some of them are just torturing your ears when they sing. Some cripped people just turn on a recorder and pretend they are singing like a pro with those record tapes by the popular singers but everybody knows they are just begging for money.That's my experience in Hong Kong. How about you ? Share with us ?

If I could sing, I would do it. That has always been one thing I am sad I can't do and that is sing. I am as flat as can be when I try, lol.

No problem. Everyone is different. Just enjoy people who sing and have a good time for their singing.

My 2 eldest grandsons are studying music in Europe. One is in Spain and the other is in Switzerland. The one that is in Switzerland has a group of friends. My second eldest grandson goes to Switzerland during summer with his flamenco guitar. They sing and play in the streets and earn enough money to get along the rest of the year. Felipe, who is still studying music has a help from his father.

Here in the US, you never know who is singing on the street. I've done with a couple of bands, even as I was working on my Ph.D. and in no financial trouble. I hope you get to do it there.
