I got a ton of support from other musicians. I associated it with happy times, good times. Things were OK when people were playing music in my house. So I bought a book, Dylan's Greatest Hits, and taught myself how to play the guitar. And then you started busking in the subways.
Men tend to get harassed more by other men.
I think women singing in the subways is more of a novelty. It's reality down there. It's one of the most real things I know. I'm showing the ropes to. I hope they stick with it.
