If your busking in Canada I can't see you going wrong with any one of many Neil (Young, of course) tunes.
Also, what about a Dead tune like "Bertha" or "Friend of the Devil"? I'd also throw in Gordon Lightfoot's "If You Could Read My Mind" or "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" (but only if you've got a good memory for lots of verses). |

If busking in Canada do at least three Tragically Hip tunes. The tips triple immediately. Pigeon Camera slays them every time.
