you find your best music on the streets...That is where started....and may go back again...it comes from the heart... Well done and many blessings....Big Gerry
I think playing in streets is more socially remarkable than in a concert. Part of the magic this person creates resides on the fact she plays for everybody who want to listen and doesn't expect such beautifullness in their routines. In a concert there are only people from a selected social segment who previously knows (or have an idea) of what they're going to see and listen.
Did you see how many people stopped to watch and listen to her?
Perhaps he has no desire to perform in a hall...some musicians like myself do not prefer huge audiences or grandeur...I'm a drummer...I've played gigs in shitty little bars and basements...and I love it. It has a better feel to it than say a huge gymnasium full of people.
i can atest to that ..........i have preformed in front of a large crowed and it nearly gave me a heart atack id rather share my talents with small groups
Sometimes it matters not the size of your hall but rather the audience that you have in it. He has the skill but the charm of what it is and how he plays it could be lost. He captured everyones attention. this video has almost 10,000 hits. I think if he knew that it would make his day. I certainly love comming back and watching this again and again. fav'ed
You have to be really very good to get a license to play anywhere on the streets in NY. It can actually be a very lucrative career, and if you are good enough to make it, they assign you a location and time period where you can play.
@mpakos18473 Well, at least he is not just standing around holding down a corner with a dirty cardboard sign just asking for free money. And these lazy bastards around here claim there is no work. They aren't even willing to play a guitar or even a harmonica. ---just give me money.
@mpakos18473 Actually, an experiment was done once where a famous violin player played a stradivarius in the subway... people just walked right on by.
What a beautiful job! One of my favorite songs, which will be being played at my Medieval wedding next fall by a friend of mine on her Hammered Dulcimer. Thank you for the inspiration~
To see this person would have tore $50 from me, and the shame the person is in NY, hopefully they make their living. Greensleeves is a great melody, and I hope this person lives comfortably having this talent.
OMG . I think I was there for this. I remember him. I was the one who asked him to play greensleeves . I think I remember him saying he made his dulcimer by himself .
sounded really hopeful

Concert halls are often filled with hypocrisy and people who go just because they can and don't understand a thing about music.
Streets will always be the stage of people,no need for walls and fancy carpets to show this kind of talent, to bad most people don't understand that.
