RE THE QUARRY MEN there is no no nonsense in what i did. They did busk. It is quit popular for people to busk in great britain and europe. John and Paul also busked under the name of "THE NURK TWINS". I belive i put inet references about this along with the info. just cause u have antibusking sentiments don't call it nonsense. I also have a friend who owns a pub near me. he grew up in liverpool in the late 50's and early 60's. He saw them busk. It was all the rage to pick up chicks.

RE DOLLY PARTON I have not vanadlized this page it is you who did with you anti busking sentiment. Dolly did some busking when she was very young in her teens. It was and is a common form of entertainment for folk musicians to use when they are just getting started. There are references to her busking http://www.roctober.com/roctober/greatness/dolly.html "Most notable is an almost return to roots, where she retreads the ground of her great early 70s "Coat Of Many Colors/ Tennessee Mountain Home" glory with a child hood song based on her busking days that occurred between her first and second single."

Ok but you can't do this [[something|something]] catergorys are hidden, when you do that it messes them up. ILovePlankton ( L) 21:14, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

and when you do that it looks like vandalism. ILovePlankton ( L) 21:15, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Thomas Jane, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. ILovePlankton ( L) 03:11, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

How is it vandalized. I merely added information about Thomas Janes busking, a qoute from him and a link to prove it. I also added him to the buskers catagory because he used to do it. Whats wrong or vandalizing about that?

[edit] John Hurt - busker?

Hi,

Unless you have a reference for Mississippi John Hurt having been a street performer, I'm going to remove him from the busker category. To the best of my knowledge he was never active as a busker. --RobHutten 04:16, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi again,

Please don't just keep adding this category back without some reference to Hurt having been a street performer. I'm removing it, again. --RobHutten 16:57, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

MJH grew up in an area and at a time when busking was common place. Busking does not have to take place on the streets. He started playing in 1903 in rural Avalon, Mississippi for tips at friends parties, dances and in bars. Busking these venues was quite common and the main means of employment for musicians at that time. [1] The fact that he stayed local and did not travel didn't mean he did not busk. The fact that he never gained fame til his rediscovery in the 60's is a tragedy. please replace the link to category buskers and save me the hassle

- - - Playing parties, dances and bars is gigging, not busking. And just because it was common to busk in his time and place doesn't mean he was a busker. Your apparent need to make every musician a busker is bizarre and has no place in an encyclopedia project. Show us ONE reference to Hurt having had played music in public spaces for tips, and I'll stick the category link back on his page. And don't accuse me of having an anti-busking sentiment like you've done with others - I've busked myself. --RobHutten 01:19, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Your statement is false and inflamatory in nature. I have no need to prove every musician was a busker but it is a fact o life that virtually every entertainer has worked for tips at sometime or another in thier career, as even you have professed to have done. He may not be readily identitiable as a busker because the term was not even used at that time and literacy was not at a high level in that rural area. Most people could not read or write very well at all. He has been identified as one of the pioneering delta blues men and the all busked and were generally more noted for it because of thier itinerant nature. He didn't travel much and stayed fairly local. When time permits I will try and contact his museum foundation to confirm his status. As for "gigging" busking can be done in bars and retaraunts and cafes as long as the establishment allows it. Establishments will frequently work a deal allowing people to busk as a way of getting free entertainment for thier place. You may call it gigging but as long as they get tips for thier performance it is a form of busking. You act as if busking is some disgaceful thing which it is not. So don't berate me just because I try to enlighten people on buskers and busking. That is just the way it was done.


- - - "He may not be readily identitiable as a busker" - you said it yourself. I'm leaving it at that. --RobHutten 02:06, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

WOW a partial qoute to mislead people about the true nature of things. I'll try again to make u understand. The only reason he is not identified as such is because of the high degree of illiteracy in the region he came from and his tendancy to stay very local to Avalon. Ther were literally no descriptions of his performances except for his own written records. Avalon had no streets to perform on. Just a single dirt road with a small collection of homes a church and a several businesses. He reportedly hung out at the local store. His vernacular for busking was "pluckin' for friends". There are even pictures of his old pitch on the inet. He played parties, sqaure dances and church socials as well as hangin out at the local store "plucking for friends". They way musicians got paid for these type of things at that time and in that region was by "passing the hat". Are you saying he was a peach laying under the apple tree. Your saying the people he played for were so mean or cheap that they didn't reward him for his efforts. I don't believe it. Get in tune wuth the culture of that time. It was very different then from what we know today. The rewards werent always cash either. People would give food clothing and other items in lue of cash. A person may pass by the store and offer him some extra corn, sugar or maybe a chicken a rabbit or some fish or a shot of bourbon or whatever as a reward for performing for them. Also there is no mention of the word "gigging" in the writings about him either so according to your logic he didn't do that either.
