I was moved. Not many people would hit the streets so they can become a professional musician with a degree.

Kid's good.

Last time I was in NYC I met a couple guys doing David Bowie covers in the streets for change. Needless to say, I donated to them... and sang along.

[Captain Falcon]

No offence, but you must be at least mildly retarded to not know this was in Chicago.

Fuck you're a faggot standing there to his side leaning against a statue with your little iPhone out capturing some 'real street' talent. What a dickhead

[cellophane]

Edited my reply, as you can see. I didn't read the title closely enough. Durr.

Way too much testosterone, sonny.

Holy shit, I forgot about this guy. I don't remember when but I was once walking down a street, and thought, "Isn't that.. Super Mario?"

Where is he at anyway?

Downtown Chicago is big to me, but small enough to find one guy with a saxophone, playing Nintendo music, yes. Although he might have been older, and blacker. I don't remember if he looked like the guy in the video or if it was him, but he's definitely there along with a few other sax players across the downtown area.

This was on Michigan Avenue. My apartment's about 2 blocks off the main avenue.

I went to Cologne where I saw these two hippies busking. One played the didge, the other a hangdrum. Sounds like your average crappy new-age bullshit, but those guys rocked pretty fucking hard. I only found this crappy recording of them together though. The other two are them as well, just playing apart.

I really fucking liked those two hippies, especially the separate ones. The OP was definitely just cool for using games tunes.

Yeah, they also sold CD's. I bought all three of them for €10 I think. Shame though, because only one of those cd's is what they were actually playing. The two others are indeed some new age bullshit.
