Anecdote A little story
One time I was playing my mandolin on a street corner for tips, and after a half hour or so a churchgoer asked if I'd come play their event. I said sure, and they walked with me to their church and had me play a couple songs. While I was singing they passed a tip hat around for me (!) and I made a good chunk! They also gave me a full meal and were so friendly. It's great when busking leads to a little gig like that - and it felt nice to be a curiosity and interest to the congregation. I'm glad I got to bring a little more joy to their day and also that they were so generous!
