Larry Wilson
The Act: Wilson dubs himself "The World's Most Dangerous Bass Player." Like he told a cop who once arrested him: "Man, you guys got to make the streets safe from us dangerous musicians!"

Day Job: Eligibility Specialist for the Department of Social Services.

From: Ozone Park.

Favorite Spot: Times Square, especially in front of Toys R Us, ABC, and Virgin Records.

Best Day's Take: $150. He plays at least four to five days a week, six to seven hours at a time.

Busted: Wilson's received six tickets in the three years he's been playing on the streets.

On Busking: "I got into the band I'm in from this. I've got studio work, teaching. You do get people who goof on you. They look in the bucket and say, 'It's empty.' But they don't get it. It's fun. It's not about the money."
