You&#039;re standing on the pitch putting yourself out there in front of strangers exposing your personal life. Rarely do you hear any encouraging words.<!--div class="attachtitle">Attachment:</div--><div class="attachcontent"><!-- ia0 -->22.gif<!-- ia0 --></div>Although singing lifts your spirits, not all buskers sing. We perform songs that inspired us without getting any feedback on a deeper level. To get through hard times, we need to occasionally hear positive words. Mere money in the hat doesn&#039;t actually say much except that it&#039;s a reflection of appreciation.<br /><br />The following are 9 things every musician loves to hear from fans, family, friends, and the public.

The city wants more buskers so it&#039;s eliminating permit fees. The Cambridge Arts Council announcement is meant to offer more opportunities for artists to showcase their talents without having to pay a fee.<!--div class="attachtitle">Attachment:</div--><div class="attachcontent"><!-- ia0 -->color_lg.jpg<!-- ia0 --></div>Believe it or not, one doesn&#039;t even have to be a resident. It&#039;s open to all. The only slight catch is they want to see your act first before they waive the $40 fee. The performers must stick to the city’s street busker ordinance which sets parameters on performance times, locations, and noise.<br /><br />The process just highlights the differing states of confusion when it comes to busking and street performing.
