Boardwalk Buskers: Boardwalk Bill

Friday 29 August 2008

I’m headed to the beach for the holiday weekend and it’s fitting that I wrap up this series of Boardwalk Buskers with one of my favorite entertainers on the walk, Boardwalk Bill.

This is Bill’s first year busking. He’s been a long time performer with children’s shows and other gigs but a car accident left him unable to carry his equipment any longer so he has moved his joy of entertaining to the street with a scooter. Bill is incredibly charismatic and really loves what he does. During holiday weekends, Bill will spend 10 hours or more working the boardwalk for tips.

    He looks like such a nice guy!
    I totally relate to his accident story (did I tell you I was hit by a taxi cab?).
    Have a wonderful holiday weekend!
