From pickn5 on 2/6/2018 4:13:12 AM

In line with my 2018 busking goal, I have been downloading the backing tracks for the tunes I can play. I then practice along with the backing track which I have transferred to my MP3 player. I couldn't find a backing track for Tom Dooley, so I made a request for one here on BHO. I'm also continuing to learn You Are My Sunshine. I also continue my search for a speaker or amp to plug in the MP3 player. Keep pickin.

	AndyW says: 2/7/2018 1:06:48 AM Good luck, it's great that you have a steady goal to work towards. If you are holding out for an ultra cheap amp that will do the job I've a feeling it won't exist. It's a decent onboard battery that will bulk out the cost.
	pickn5 says: 2/7/2018 7:08:47 AM @WayneConrad, unfortunately my mp3 player is not bluetooth so whatever I get will have to be plugged in to the player. @Boadicea, thanks for the encouragement. @AndyW, I realize the good amps with strong batteries are costly. I'll keep looking, but, I may start the busking without backing tracks. Y'all keep picking.
