Adam, I was in France for some weeks this summer and did some busking with the violin. I liked it. When you´re alone in a city it might be lonely, but when you busk, you´re part of it. Thats next summers project. Drive around in Europe in an old van and play number 1 violin in the streets. Visiting family and friends and sometimes stay in the forest for some days learning new tunes and reading books. Awesome. Building your own violin and taking it to the streets is about as D.I.Y. as you can get without being a straight-up caveman who kills what he eats (although it sounds like you might be thinking about trying that out too!) If you bring a camera along on your adventure, I’d love to see you “blog it.” One of the most amazing, stirring, musical performances, of any kind, that I’ve ever witnessed was seeing a guy parked in front of a church in Krakow, during one of those lonely solo visits to a strange city, TEARING his way through the Art of Fugue. I only had one day in the city and had a long list of stuff I wanted to do and check out, but I was absolutely jaw-on-the-ground transfixed and just stood there watching him for nearly an hour.
