Street Singer
Wonder where the music is coming from - there's no evidence of a source...

This is truly beautiful, and yes, it brings tears to your eyes. What is wonderful about this is that people will walk past an older person as though they don’t exist, and I am sure that many of you,
as have I, have seen that happen countless times. I sometimes think that in the eyes of the young, we become invisible as we age, especially in these
days of all absorbing portable technology that so entrances our lives.
This wonderful older gentleman made them stop and pay attention; and they did! God bless him!
Turn up your Sound!

Re: Street Singer
You should hear him sing Nussan Dorma.
But many a great singer began as a pavement singer.
Rod Stewart began that way discovered by Long John Baldry whilst busking outside the tube station.
Happy daze John in Oz.

Maybe the best of all the songs with real meaning.
Though to some degree I can agree with 'Magie'
