There’s nothing more romantic than a bunch of musicians out on the street playing New Orleans jazz. Young ragamuffins who’ve shunned society’s norms, and even some personal hygiene, to give themselves over to the noble tradition of street performing, for nothing more than the joy of making music and also your spare change.
Perhaps you’ve seen one of these young things and thought: “Oh, how adorable!” If you see one that captures your heart and want to take one in and give it a home, that’s a wonderful gesture and I applaud your generous spirit, but please note some important factors to consider before taking that first big step. Street musicians may not be used to the comforts and constraints of everyday indoor life.
