Reason For Becoming a Busker:
To control own destiny - life is too short to be lived in quiet desperation! Why work like a dog 50 wks of the year, just to - hopefully spend 2 wks in the sun? When - with the price of a train ticket, a guitar, a sleeping bag, the skin of a Rhino, the heart of a Lion and balls like an Elephant - it's possible to spend 50 wks in the sun (metaphorically).
Current Ambitions:
To learn as much about the enemy's technology as possible, and use it against him!
To get this Website and the InterGalacticBuskers website running smoothly and enable the buskers of the world to communicate/exchange information more easily.
