[jonnda]

@crabcore44 It looks like a Harmony or Stella to me.

[isoscelespopsicle]

@crabcore44 it's an old kay from like the 50s or 60s... it was most likely originally bought in a sears or other retail store. i've never met anyone or heard of anyone that knows the actual model, but they don't make them anymore. you can get them pretty cheap on like ebay or craigslist

[blogger1947]

@isoscelespopsicle My father had a Kay bass of that general vintage.

[zdepapepaify]

I think the song sings Bob Dylan

[hogandaas]

"Lord send me an angel" as soon as he sang that, that babe or angel shucked some cash in his case, maybe a phone number who knows. And they say there is no God.

[MrGabo98]

[derekw1572]

[koontzie22]

Ryan Baer (The Haret) from Waterloo around Toronto Canada. Mr. Ryan, you should have this on a CD for sale.......

[rockandroll4life2001]

WHERS A DOWNLOED ON ITUN ES BUTTON WHEN YOU NEED ONE?

[JuPp3]

Who wants to be on a wooden or metal framework stage and be limited while there's a whole big concrete stage without limits evrywhere you go?

Let this guy perform on the street! He's great at it! :D

[danguitarpro1]

and they say men cant multitask

[bevanmcg]

I bet you hes been to Juliard : )

[DrakosLord]

Coordination? My balls!!! This guy is beyond that!!!

But, really... How do I know the world is full of crap? When people like this guy are on-street, while other shitty pseudo-musicians are on-stage...

[2110Shaggy]

@DrakosLord "Britain's Got Talent" (allegedly, somewhere. Down the back of the sofa I expect) "America's Got Talent" (so I'm told). They're a vision of Hell, in Cowell-tinted spectacles. THEN you get some dude on the street, rocking out - great stuff - and is ignored by the industry. Fuck sake.

[EmberWolfeh]

If only we had this sort of talent in the music industry today- now we just have computer-generated and overly autotuned crap. This guy has ACTUAL talent!

[KingOfSanJo]

I cant understand how all them people just pass him by!!! This is a talented human being!!!

[funkyjones]

Clever Bass rig.

[irishkod]

how the fuck can he concentrate on that many things at once?!? thats talent right there people like him need to be recognized as true musicians. he should be on stage and tv

[mangyfish69]

SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET HIS NAME

[potii92]

[iheartZildjian]

[TuffBurnOutTeam]

THE TUFF BURN OUT TEAM .com 1 man band TEAM now that is GREAT we LOVE IT AWESOME

[freekune]

See ladies, men can multi task.

[confederatetilldeath]

@freekune Think about it, we can have sex when we have a headache too!

[flagaflafla]

this guy could make a nasty drummer....

[U07110743]

anybody can be good as this but to compose that song? i don't think so

[joutneyman]

He sure must have a strong back...

[kingfisher44]

he should go in for x factor

[Gilnar13]

That's some real skill.

[Holmfridur123]

Spenny!!

[dantheman9856]

he was a little off on bass... ;)

[AdamHH11]

This sounds a little like modest mouse.



[bpihlquist1]

I've been trying to figure out the lyrics for a while now and I think this arrangement is a mixture of different old blues songs. The songs already recognized should be "Searching The Desert For The Blues", 'Lord, Send Me An Angel' and "Crow Jane". Does anybody agree? Or other suggestions?

[Thepihl]

@bpihlquist1 You're probably on to something there. I checked those lyrics and I also heard the similarities. Anyone else who noticed some other songs in this version???? I would really appreciate if you answer. Thanks!!!

[banjochris]

If you enjoy this, look up an old blues musician named Jesse Fuller, who had a set-up like this back in the '50s.

[johntaimon]

congratulations brother you is the best

[1step2step3step]

what does he sing?

[JackyRowe]

This guy is freakin ace!!!

[veryway007]

Who is this guy???

[MediaPlayer4you]

multitasking :D

[EyesShineLikeTHC]

This is probably one of the best covers of Crow Jane I have ever heard

[Roboyoyo]

I thought a car was gonna come over and run him over...

[cooldaddyjames2814]

whats title of song?

[ekaksana]

How about his name? Hate this soundbyte generation.

[sam082012]

he has adhd? playing like this , it helps him cope.

[SKI334]

@sam082012 you don't need help to cope with adhd

[MoveThatgroove]

Great and very funny !!!

[torchofthegods]

That awesome moment when you realize that you were standing next to the person filming this

[screamerKENNEDY]

why cant this guy do the half time show?

[jpeanrkode]

@screamerKENNEDY YES!! Amen!

[CivitasUltraAporia]

@screamerKENNEDY Let's see Madonna do something as impressive lol

[MrFenderguitar08]

@screamerKENNEDY I was just thinking of this .

[GeneralGuitFiddle]

Awesome, Like for sure

[cyphr6]

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

[xiHarryx]

Looks like Hayley Williams is getting some ideas & inspiration from him (: lol.

[StereOasis93]

more!!!

[regularfella]

Skip James did this originally. Thumbs up if you knew this.

[moopadoopolus]

@regularfella Love Skip James, but didn't know it was him. I've heard Jack White sing it though, he does a great version.

[alanzo44]

amazing

[chenille75]

Does he have three brains or is he just an espion of the government who can controll his own mine in three differents parts

[Lastmauricio]

31 personas tocan mas de 5 instrumentos a la vez... dejenlos en paz ee... xD jajajajajaja ...

[ncoperator]

This guy should be on a stage, not on a street.

[Legertymusic]

@ncoperator Speaking as a folk musician who plays both the stage and the street, I wouldn't be surprised if he probably makes more on the street than he would playing gigs! No overhead...great player with a very unique set up, that is for sure.

[dlfreak1]

@ncoperator he only does like black money.. so he dont have to pay "tax"

[akatsukigirl3974]

wow he's awesome :D

[wingready]

If this is multitasking... this is the Olympics of multitasking

[MrCloudz90]

good job! new orleans!

[TheGoodsbetter]

31 dislikes!? s: No space for the red bar, tho. :L

[JosephalicCarnage]

I saw him when I visited in 2010. Same clothes, same setup. The next day I saw his upright bass laid down in the middle of the street and he wasn't around.

[aaaazzzz76]

Eccezionale!!!!!!!

[Djiggman]

i thought that thing in front of him it's a big quitar lol

[irishpunk301]

that guy probably made more money in a few hours then i do in a week... more power to him!

[zhulia]

this man gives me hope in humanity!

[HellolzEveryone]

Does anyone know what chord progression he's playing. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's in a different key than the original Crow Jane.

[thedarkshitstain]

That's like a foot piano bass!
