Seb was true to his word and woke up wanting to busk at today's market. So we set him up on a folding chair in the square and warned the neighbours that he might not exactly make sweet melodies. He chose his accordion (thanks Nannie), his drum (thanks Wedge-Bulls) and harmonica (thanks Katy & Babush - even though he pinched it from you) as the instruments of the day. He took out a little bag for coins and his penguin "piggy"bank that he made at his summer camp. It was a hoot and he greatly enjoyed himself, as did the neighbours and the tourists visiting the market. I get a feeling that Seb might be out there next Sunday too!
As for his take, he wasn't that interested in counting out the dosh and we didn't want to encourage any greed. I think all the adults were curious and were interested to find out (about 4 hours later) that he had generated about 6 euros (approx $9 Canadian) in the hour. Hey, that's above New Brunswick's minimum wage!
Our visitors wanted to go to a vide grenier, so Seb accompanied them with his penguin and returned with a dump truck and an electric guitar. Supposedly it works if we plug in some batteries. Needless to say, I was NOT with him when he bought it.
We have some lovely video too which I will try to figure out how to upload before next week's jam session!
