Billie Jean accordion cover

This sweet-ass busker outside the Mont Royal metro station was playing Billie Jean on his accordion. It sounded like he's been influenced by klezmer or at least some kind of Eastern-European music. I approve!

ETA: I found out his name, which is Scott Dunbar. I keep seeing him around, busking. I always stay to watch a few songs :)

His name is Scott Dunbar, and I've heard him play some original stuff that was pretty cool too.

Wish somebody had filmed the same one time I was there with my baritone saxophone, dancing with jingles on my shoes, even some moonwalk, I had a great time and I added much visual dimension as deep bass sax line and groovy punches, plus vocal harmonies, Scotty is a great musician, but his rig keeps him sitting, he reminds me the pianist in Charlie Brown but with an accordeon!
