[MAEdalgo]

Actually there is some relevance to this comment. I have heard some versions of Gospel John where the trumpet cadenza in the beginning makes reference to "Just a Closer Walk with Thee" which is the song that this man is playing.

[thesandman272]

the guy who did this is really talanted...

[UnluckyChez]

The song he's playing is Just A Closer Walk With Thee for anyone wondering.

[BlinEd1]

cheers dude

[jazztrmpr94]

He's good.

[torgosassistant]

He's cheesy, but has talent. He could do so much more with that talent than try to sell cds on the street.

Having done this kind of thing (minus the CDs) on the street in Mobile, AL, I can tell you it has its own rewards, not necessarily monetary. I played in front of an art gallery for three hours. Picked up only around 65 bucks in tips ($50 from one source!), but had a grand time hearing my horn echoing up and down the street, jamming with a guitarist across the street, laughing it up with the tourists. Don't knock it!

[waldoman7]

lived in mobile all my life and never seen anything like that. some sort of special event or what?

[blogger1947]

@waldoman7 This was about 5 days before Mardi Gras. We'd visited an art gallery, spent a couple of hours talking, and it ended with the gallery owner inviting me to sit outside and play the night of their monthly new-art opening. Just a fluke I'm sure, but there was someone playing guitar on the sidewalk, right up the block from me.
