Man, he was cookin' up a bluesey gumbo. I paid him the going rate. His sign says 'Please support living blues' and I agree wholeheartedly. This one was taken just a few moments after yesterday's.

Hi-Res here.

What a character! He looks like he's enjoying himself. Is he sitting where the other photo of the woman violinist was playing? Once again, lovely framing, lighting, expression - bravo!

Duncan Galbraith from kyoto, Japan

lovely. what a face. what a capture. echo the signs statement. love that guitar, looks like this guy knows his way around a song a little better than my guy today.

@Duncan Galbraith: He was really good. I just noticed while looking at your guy, that my guy is a lefty (which just makes him that much better in my estimation). Thanks, Duncan!

Stu from Kyoto, Japan

Doesn't look as shy as the violinist a few days ago. I'm guessing the yellow dots mean that they are allowed to perform in that little area?

@Stu: No, not as shy as she was. They are indeed required to stay within the yellow dots... Thanks, Stu!

Angry Buddha from United States

Nice toe tapping image Damon.

@Angry Buddha: Thanks, Sean!

Paul Ricciardi from West Hartford, United States

Well done...he has a little glimmer in his eye. I like the tones here and the contrast of the organicism of the man and his music to the structure of the wall behind him. Another good one from you.

@Paul Ricciardi: Many thanks, Paul! Love it when people can just play like that.

Jeff Ambrose from Chandler, United States

He looks like the definition of blues, nice job on the picture and the support I'm sure he really appreciated it.

12 Feb 2007 4:55pm

@Jeff Ambrose: I don't know if he's the definition, but he sure could play. Thanks, Jeff!

Dawn Sutherland from Phoenix, United States

Another great one.

@William: Thanks, William!

Fred from Easton PA, United States

He's really into it, I like the fact you caught him tapping his foot to keep the beat. Great image !

12 Feb 2007 10:48pm

@Fred: Stomping your foot is the best way to play that kind of music. Thanks, Fred!
