The harmonica man
« on: September 21, 2016, 12:52:24 »
This man stands on this spot from time to time while listening to the radio and "playing" his harmonica. He can't really play at all and just plays the same note over and over as loud as possible.  :o He puts his heart into it, though.

I can imagine the scene live. Well captured.

He plays one note?  And you are getting it for free.  It's a bargain: iTunes wants you to pay 99 cents to download a performance of John Cage's 4' 33"

Strictly speaking, he plays several notes as the harmonica produces chords and he both blows and sucks (no pun intended!). So I guess we get our money's worth.  :)

Thanks for looking!
