Silver Drummer Girl LAFF/LAAFF festival Asheville, NC

If you've ever been to downtown Asheville you've see her tapping away. This was at the LAFF event downtown on Sunday. (The way Bele Chere USED to be! ALL local and ALL fun!) Note the Ron Paul shirt in the back. Video by Tom at SunSpots Productions near Asheville.

I think she does a great job doing what she does. She's become a fixture of downtown Asheville for many years. The touroids love her. Long may she play!

@circusboy90210 The few people that do pretend to like her talk s*@t behind her back about her & how she causes them to lose money time after time. this is not very nice or friendly. I try not to take it personally because she's callouse enough to not care about anyone but her own income. However this does not help us as a community of artist to fight the city who cares about none of us equally. I have seen her pushed off of many different pitches by cops. I wish nothing but the best for you.ty

@caribe4045 I have never really wished harm or ill will towards anyone. but when they come into a situation you've been @ for years & ignores your needs( ability to make money) for their own, by not being conscientious about their location & how that impacts other people that's not ethical. I tried to have lunch with her when she first showed up as a professional courtesy she blew me off. She then started her shenanigans .

@circusboy90210 I wish you well in all your endeavors.

@circusboy90210 I understand that individual clowns are each unique and you copyright your faces. I was speaking in general that the "concept" of clowns is not unique. Just a fleeting comment and I assure you that it was not designed to offend.However, what you have with this girl is personal and that's where I step off as it has nothing to me but I do hope you guys work it out. Although, I suppose that trying to talk to her is like trying to talk to a statue. :)

@caribe4045 all clowns are unique unto themselves, being unique with no talent is a different story . I really tried to get along with her when she showed up on the pitch and did not try to push her off the pitch as I could have done @ the time. She shows not respect for other performers 8 out of 10 times and crowds them out with no concern for their welfare. WE all have to work the street to live and might as well get along against the forces that conspire against us equally. thank you.

[caribe4045]

@circusboy90210 Yes but she's unique, unlike clowns.

she is extreamly talented and makes a killing at what she does regardless if she is a parasite that asheville will never get rid of. i never once seen her move an inch. it takes alot of consentration to do what she does and i think that should be recognised.

[Durdmiester]

What a gimmick. NO talent! Just suckering the tourist. People are so stupid sometimes.
