Winter Is For Lovers

This bit of snow graffiti suggests a fine title for a love song, but the weather militates against getting out there and playing.
Since most street instruments – string, wind, percussion, key – demand dextrous finger-play, winter weather presents a serious challenge to the busker. Perhaps it’s best to abandon the streets to the carollers who are about to descend.
I’m busy drawing up a quote to provide street music at a Shropshire garden event next summer. Ah a warm garden in August, the sounds of the birds, the bees and the blues.
