Buskin' with H. Allen Smith, October 29, 2006
"To Busk," according to H. Allen Smith, "is to peddle rauchy songs and books in public houses....Buskin' was a common pursuit all over the United States back in Civil War times. Professional enterainers went buskin' to get eatin' money, or more probably, drinkin' dough."
Smith, the author of LOW MAN ON THE TOTEM POLE, LIFE IN A PUTTY KNIFE FACTORY, RHUBARB, SON OF RHUBARB and twenty-six other best sellers, has been collecting his favorite stories and hoarding them for years. We finally persuaded him to dig out and share them with his fans.
Here they are - both clean and dirty, bawdy and clever: sayings, puns, boners, anecdotes, situations. Good hearty laughs from the master "busker" of them all.
