Now I applaud the busker on Market Street on Thursday for cheering up the shoppers on a wet grey day.
Novelty comes to mind, and I didn’t really listen to the music, but he made everyone just that bit happier.
And I can reveal that his name is "THE JUNKOACONE WASTEMAN". None of my pictures captured the board with his intriguing title, but it does so happen I know the real identity of the chap in junk.
Not that I will reveal his name, but in the interests of authenticity he may will come forward and make a comment.
We shall see.
Historically buskers will have played Market Street for centuries, and playing the instruments and music may have changed the purpose remains the same.
In the case of a our chap, even the collecting bucket was metal.

The sheer effort & imagination & originality deserves applause. Even the name is a wonder!
ReplyDeleteI hope he comes forward , but maybe like any Super Heroe ( I'm maybe thinking Batman or Superman) he might want to keep his identity a secret!
