Street musicians

Gipsy sax player at the Piazzola sul Brenta
antique market.
National steel guitar player in front
of Pedrocchi caffè in Padova.


It's surprising the variety of music played in our cities'streets, from blues to jazz, from balcanian music to gipsy jazz, medieval and irish music, folk and new age. I have done it myself many years ago. I remember busking for fun 40 years ago in Edinburgh and in Venice, right under San Marco's square tower. Some players are very good some are average,  but it's always delightful to hear them play while you are walking around, it's like having an urban sound track as acconpaniament to your footsteps.
