That is awesome.
On a serious note though, I would enjoy a couple songs by that guy and drop him some money, for sure. The street "performers" here in Bangkok need a lesson. They sit there begging and then fumble through a recorder diddy only after someone tosses them a coin.
Or they just strap a tape deck to their chest, hit play and expect you to pay them.
Heard black metal band Botanist? Drums and hammered dulcimer, surprisingly OK outside of the novelty value.
Breaking my lurker status to chime in on Botanist. I wrote them off as art school fuck-wits when I saw them setting up. A buddy convinced me to stick around and watch (later found out he was the engineer on all the records) and they knocked my socks off.
