A busker is, in the most general sense, someone who entertains in a public place for donations. A modern definition of a busker is “one who performs publicly for gratuities.”
A common form of busking is playing music. Busking is practiced all over the world and dates back to antiquity. It is played on many different instruments, but the most common are the guitar, harmonica, piano and violin. Other common items include magic tricks, juggling and singing. Street performance was practiced in ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. In medieval times, buskers were known by a variety of terms such as minstrels, troubadours or strolling players.
In 17th century Italy, some performers worked out a code of ethics; it included commitment to a guild, respectful attitude to customers, and giving music lessons to apprentices.
In 20th century America there were two main types of buskers: 21-hats and hatless. The 21-hats performed outrageous stunts such as fire breathing or juggling glass bottles filled with nitroglycerin while another man would light their farts on fire. The hatless buskers were more refined and played string instruments such as banjos or guitars.

Emperor Norton was born in the year 1819, which was the same year that Queen Victoria was crowned, Lord Byron died and the first bicycle was invented. At the time, the British Empire was experiencing a period of great growth. The size of the Empire doubled between 1800 and 1815 alone. During this time, a number of colonies were established in North America, including Canada and a number of Caribbean islands.
Emperor Norton was born in England in 1819, but his family moved to South Africa when he was 10 years old. They settled in Algoa Bay on the east coast of South Africa, just north of Cape Town. His parents were successful farmers who owned a number of farms in the area. However, Emperor Norton’s father died when he was still a young boy and his mother remarried soon after his death. Emperor Norton’s stepfather did not treat him very well because he believed that all of his mother’s money should go to her new husband rather than her son from her previous marriage. When Emperor Norton turned 13 years old, his mother sent him to London to live with his uncle.
Emperor Norton spent most of his life as a farmer in South Africa and England before moving to San Francisco in 1849
