We have already mentioned how much fun the Art Deco weekend was to attend. Part of that fun was the street entertainers that continually would walk up and down the street entertaining, stopping to chat and of course to be photographed. These men and women worked very hard at being entertaining.
If you're wondering where and when this form of entertainment started, the term "busking" was first noted in the English language around the middle 1860s in Great Britain. Up until the 20th century buskers were commonly called minstrels in America, Europe and other English speaking lands.
