Street musicians

I once heard a black man playing sax on Fifth Ave. in Midtown of New York City. Basically it was a neverending blues with a lot of improvising. Technically he was quite good though not great. But the music that was coming out of him was incredible - dark, poweful, intense and sophisticated. Very deep. It was late evening, not many people there, I was in fact the only one who was standing there for twenty minutes or so and listening. He kept playing, maybe for hours, and could be heard from far away. Great talent.

I gave that black man $10.

No-one posts any videos. Yes, it takes time to find something interesting.

He did not play that piece well. Had I been there I would've stopped but not for long. He is obviously a very good musician but probably just not used to playing on streets. As a result his performance made little impression. Besides, it was quite early in the morning, most people were not in the mood for a violin music.

I think, he is pretty good.

Frogman, instead of delivering a lecture saying the obvious why don't you find something interesting and post it here? Be "an artist" not a consumer.

This is nonsense. They are not beggars. If they are - everyone else is too.
