I took a few weeks off from busking on the streets of Corpus Christi. I had to regroup after being shut down by the police after a restaurant owner complained to the police about bums in front of her restaurant. Meaning me. The building had been under construction for months and I had found it to be a suitable location to play. People responded positively to my music and even the police and parking authorities gave me a thumbs up. But the new restaurant owner seemed to be worried my playing would detract from her new business. Part of me can understand her nervousness about opening a new business and wanting nothing to impinge on her success. So the police told me I had to leave and get a permit. $30 a month. Time to regroup.
Fortunately I met the owner of a new sandwich shop and he loved my playing and was gracious enough to extend an invitation for me to play any time in front of his restaurant. It's a good location and I'm being received well.
Thank You Shoreline Sandwich Shop.
I am now back in business. Some people even remember me from the old location.
Onward an upward.
