I spend the night in Daniel Boone National Forest and drove to Charleston West Virginia. My first stop was a bookstore because I think bookstores (and the surrounding areas) are a good way to get a sense of a town. I busked (street performed) near the bookstore (Taylor Books and Coffee) and people were really supportive. The ladies at the barber shop said I should come back and play a gig at the bookstore. Overall, Charleston West Virginia is a cool town with what appears to be a cool music scene. It's one of those towns that's next to a river, and it has brick sidewalks. They have the Haddad Riverfront Park with an amphitheater, and they had a show there that night but I wanted to catch JD McPherson in Richmond Virginia.

Within this video, I also talk about how and why busking worked better for me in small towns like Louisville Kentucky and Charleston West Virginia compared to Austin, or Memphis, or Nashville. I also talk about things I do to add legitimacy to distinguish myself from being a beggar. Because I am primarily interested in understanding the vibe of these cities and I want to encourage professional musicians to play on the street because it contributes to culture.
