Good morning, well, I played a very nice upscale-type gig last night and it went very well and I got a lot of nice comments and got paid, fed and wined, still home by 10, as it was near my house.

One little thing is still bugging me, though. I had a tip jar out, and it was a ways from where the wine-tasting folks were gathered, so I wasn't expecting to do that well with tips and indeed, only three people tipped, all men.

One guy dropped in a dollar bill and said "Thanks for the great music."

Another guy (who I later learned is a Goodall owner) dropped in a fiver. Hey, thanks, man!

In between those two tippers, a nicely dressed man (this was a $55 a head event) stepped up and dropped in what sounded suspiciously like change.

I later checked it out -- a quarter, a dime and four pennies.

Why would anyone DO that?

The buskers school says use a soft hat or put something soft in the bottom of the tip jar so people don't hear change hitting.
