Busking at Aspen
There are about 600 students at the Aspen Music Festival and School in Colorado. For eight weeks, their schedules are jam-packed with lessons, classes, rehearsals, and concerts. But even so, many of the Aspen students find time for busking, performing as street musicians in and around Aspen. Today, we'll meet a few and hear what may be the most talented crop of buskers in the world.
