Now that I think about it, I never see street musicians in Ypsilanti. I wonder why.

So nonmusical busking is off the table?

a few years ago the art fair found itself overrun by pan flute wielding street musicians. that kind of sucked.
on the other hand, my daughter, a talented string musician, really gets a kick out of performing in public.
perhaps a little regulation, e.g., a license fee, offers a middle ground.

Um, what was wrong with the pan flue wielding street musicians? Two or three little bands (playing apparently with permission or by invitation of property owners, e.g., at 301 E. Liberty) don't "overrun" half a million Art Fair goers.

I enjoy the pan flute guys so much I bought a cd from them one year. I think that street musicians enrich a place.

Next to the horror that is Art Fair, a few pan-pipe players seems a minimal addition.

And how does "a little regulation," vis-a-vis a "registration fee," keep the city free of this flute-wielding menace that threatens to overrun Art Fair, other than cutting out those musicians who are unable to cough up the arbitrary amount of dough? Does money a talented musician make?
