(WWW) Holy cow! It's hard to believe that Busker Central is already 20 years old. Long before Youtube and all the rest, BC has been displaying, reporting, and informing performers around the globe.
Over the years, we've seen the passing of some prolific artists as well as newcomers to the sport of busking and street performing. Who can forget "A cat named Bob" which helped a recovering busker back to health. And what about the 7 year old guitar prodigy who marveled the audience at an International Busker Festival? Yet another cat named Fat Cow helped finish the busker's song with a resounding "meow!". The crowd went wild!
It's a fact that, along with the video demos, the site has been shuffled and migrated server to server often without consent making display tedious at best. Some reporters have been lucky enough to contribute by uploading live action video to display exclusively on Busker Central.
Technical: On January 1st of 2005, this hand-coded site was uploaded to the first of what would be at least 10 servers over the years. The Google translator has been updated 3 times requiring new linkage each time and now features 110 additional languages. Video footage was shot as early as 1995 in Boulder, Colorado, USA, then expanded over the years to include Canada and Europe. Through depressions, recessions, pandemics, hurricanes, and power outages, Busker Central is still able to serve buskers and street-performers with pertinent examples and information.
A complete not-for-profit group, BC buskers and street performers continue to this day to bring the internet news and fresh video depicting the state-of-the-art in busking.
