At first, all you hear is a clip-clop and then you see Nina, a small mongrel in an orange reflective jacket. She's in top form, running along ahead of the group. Then the impressive shaggy draught horses, Winston and Lotte, appear. They seem to have no trouble at all pulling a colourful wagon behind them. Sitting up on the coach box is the little family, Jon and Anne, and their young daughter, Malén. Gee up!
Since he was 18 years old, Jon has been travelling through Europe earning his living as a busker. Originally he used a truck but found this to be too fast. Later he switched to a tractor and trailer, but noisy tractors are not welcome at most idyllic spots. Finally, in 2005, he acquired a couple of horses and his dream came true. Ever since then, Jon - a dropout born in Manchester, England - has been plodding through life with his homemade wagon.

I have been a Traveling Railroad "Hobo Guitarist" for 30+ years, (I don't like the word "Busker")I am over 60 years old now, my Feet wont hold up to carry & to Hop Freight, I desire to buy a BURRO/ Donkey to CARRY my Guitar & Pack.
I know in OKLAHOMA CITY the LAW on STREET MUSICIANS is so INSANE it is better to rob banks! I am sick of petty laws against MUSIC.
