busking in Grand Rapids, MI

On Friday night before the peace conference began on Saturday, my friend Pat and I were walking around downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan after dinner. It was a lovely warm evening and everyone we saw had a smile on their face. Our smiles grew when we saw and heard these two guitarists--Alistair and Jerry--playing blues on the sidewalk. Yes, even Grand Rapids has buskers...and excellent ones at that!

Hey, that's great. I am a jazz major at Aquinas College, and I think it would be nice if I could play my saxophone in Grand Rapids. One problem is you have to have a permit to do that. I have played in Kalamazoo lots of times, and it was always very successful. You don't need a permit to play in Kalamazoo; just know a lot of standards that people recognize and love.
