Editor:
Thanks for the opportunity to express my ideas on New Westminster's music scene.
The other day I was down at Granville Island noticing how good the atmosphere was because of the quality free music on the street level by buskers. I also noticed for the first time a small group playing by Eighth Street SkyTrain station and how it enlivened the atmosphere.
My suggestion is this: The city should try to encourage street music any way possible on a regular basis. This would be cheap and would draw more people downtown helping local merchants.
