reggae day in the tunnel!

Right so this afternoon the first busker I encountered in the tunnel reminded me of the "white guys who think they're black guys" in 10 Things I Hate About You. He was doing some sporadic guitar and vocal work and very enthusiastic legwork. A bit further along was a real West Indies guy sitting on some colourful cloth next to a stereo... the stereo was playing music... and the guy was calling out "that's right mun!" to anyone who rewarded his stereo with money.

I've often thought that that's the way to busk - less effort, but far superior results (usually). Maybe I'll try it sometime.

Reggae day must begin sometime after the morning peak hour. This morning was the guy who plays the digeridoo and the guitar at the same time - he's not too bad. And the palm/face reading lady. No Christian fruitcakes, although there have been quite a few lately come to think of it.
