Hi guys,

as you've probably guessed from my recent posts, I'm a totally newbie to the art of street performing, but am giving it my best shot. I want to thank you for all the recent replies to my posts; the last couple of times I've been out have been a bit crappy for various reasons and my confidence took a knock. I'm off out again though tomorrow, after reading the threads on this board - it's been a great source of inspiration and advice; better than most books! Anyway, thanks again to you guys for helping a newbie. I'm glad there's a place like this where stories can be shared!

Thanks,

John

Good luck, John!

As the indian Lone Watie said to the outlaw Josie Wales...

"Endeavor to persevere"

They call the Cherokee man "Lone Watie" in the movie, but the character is loosely based on Brigadier General Stand Watie, CSA, a native of Rome Georgia, commander of the First Cherokee Mounted Rifles and the First Indian Brigade, whose signing a cease-fire in June, 1865, the last Confederate General to cease fighting. He died in 1871. He certainly persevered.
