Once - When Your Mind's Made Up

Here's another clip from the movie, 'Once'. The first scene takes place in a recording studio. The main characters have gone through a lot to get to the point where they can make their demo. It's all or nothing time! A great part of the scene is when the recording engineer is impressed by the session. The musicians' efforts are affirmed.

The second scene has the main character busking, playing on the street for tips. This scene got to me because I used to be a busker. Many solo musicians have had to busk. I always tip buskers. Musicians who have busked for a living know that if they have to, they can go back to it. Busking is honorable...there is no shame in it if you are doing your best.

I love this movie! RR
