Description:To
Busk, according to H. Allen Smith, "is to peddle raunchy songs and
books in public houses . . . . Buskin' was a common pursuit all over the
United States back in Civil War times. Professional entertainers went
buskin' to get eatin' money, or more probably, drinkin' dough." Smith,
the author of LOW MAN ON THE TOTEM POLE, LIFE IN A PUTTY KNIFE FACTORY,
RHUBARB, SON OF RHUBARB and twenty-six other best-sellers, has been
collecting his favorite stories and hoarding them for yea. We finally
persuaded him to dig them out and share them with his fans. Here they
are--both clean and dirty, bawdy and clever: sayings and puns, boners,
anecdotes, situations. Good hearty laughs from the master "busker" of
them all. "...a very funny book." -The Boston Globe
