    For some people, begging, homelessness and busking have become a way of life, but busking is also a way for talent to be discovered through unusual means, as this one-man band displays on Murray Street. by: anncorvera Views[397] A different scene piques the interest of these children on the bustling Murray Street, where an ID’d ukulele busker performs not far from other street performers.
