The bucket is more about convenience, I've found.

For instance, I used to bring an upright piano out there, and I would put a bucket on the other side of the piano, and...

people behind me wouldn't just be able to see it.

And so you just, you know, just like if you're putting up a website, you have to make sure that if there's a place to purchase things or to donate, you just have to make sure that it's in a very convenient place that's really easy for people to get to.

So now I have two buckets on either side of me.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's easy.

It's easy for people to just naturally drop it.

It's also easy for, for drug addicts to come and try and steal money.

Yeah.

Yeah.

From time to time.

But it's, what do you do?

Um, you know, if I chase after them and usually there's an audience watching me and I chase after them and I get angry and then I come back to the piano and I say, you know, sorry about that, folks.

It's just what I have to deal with.

Then usually people are sympathetic and, and they, I ended up getting almost more donations about it.

So I'm thinking about actually.

Yeah, because I think it might actually boost.

I usually when people are dropping money I just give them a smile or not I'm the only time I I really point people out as when out and when buys a CD I might yell something like a kinda sarcastic like his life will never be the same you know as he's walking away and I'll look around the audience and I'll say and so can yours just for ten dollars or you can all remain losers the choice is yours
