Is anybody listening?

Actually, I was, because the musician was excellent, playing the pan pipes with rare delicacy and emotion.  Not your average busker.

sad scene. father plays for money, his girl, bored, playing to make the time pass, tourist, supposed to support the musician in -- what, Italy? Spain? Portugal? - destined for other things

[Anthony]

Thanks, Frank, my feelings too (but the photo does not convey the further aspect of the situation, that he was a really good musician).

The photo was taken in Barcelona - a city full of photo opportunities.

Most artists have a tough go of things.
