Bob Baker's The Buzz Factor

More than 1,000 people watched this video in the first three days after it was posted. It's an inspiring interview I did on a whim with musician Terry Prince, shot a couple of weeks ago on the Santa Monica Pier.

Do the math. He makes more than $8,000 a month/about $275 an hour playing part-time. Some people doubt his sales figures (which would average 27 CD sales per hour). But, according to Terry, "that very doubt will keep them from manifesting the desired results."

It was a rare cloudy and windy day on the pier when we shot the video. Normally, it's sunny and crowded with tourists. When you consider that his tip bucket sits right below his CDs and sales sign (which allows people to drop ten buck in and take a CD while he's playing), he really could generate 25 or more CD sales per hour.

I have no way to verify Terry's claims, but I also have no reason to doubt him. What do you think?

Pardon my hair. The wind was giving me a nice Donald Trump effect :-)
