Street Music

Every night on my way to the bus, I pass various street musicians. But my favorite is the elderly Asian gentleman who plays the shamisen. I love the hauntingly beautiful music it plays. I wish I could stay and listen longer but I usually can only listen for the minute or so it takes me to walk through.
So for your Friday afternoon listening pleasure:

This isn't the gentleman who I see daily. But gives you an idea of the music I enjoy.

  1. Very cool. And kinda fitting as today in our department we're celebrating Chinese New Year.

  2. Really cool - we don't really have street musicians in Dallas.
    Of course, there's not really the public transit system like there is up there either. Oh, and most of the time it's really really freaking hot down here.
