A busker with a difference

Like many people, I wasn't quite sure what to make of the performance involvin his singing, harmonica playing and the puppet he'd made himself with bits of wood and fishing line. There was no mistaking his sincerity, and he was having a crack.

He looked up at me once, which is when this shot was taken. He had a wistful look, almost embarrassed. The rest of his belongings were on the steps visible behind the legs of the woman walking past. Like most people, she walked past while turning her head.

I hope he found somewhere warm to sleep that night, because he sure as hell wasn't going home to a bed.

Blissful Ignorance

So did you drop him a coin or two for the photo?

If I see him busking in Wrexham I may chuck him a coin

He may need a few for the air fare though
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

Let's put it this way - we ran out of gold coins as well as notes on the day.
