Re: Seattle paint bucket buskers

[Richard Sales <richard@glasswing.com>]

One of my fave buskers is Miles and my son Luke.  It's like Parliament Funkadelic meets Miles Davis at a Louisiana carnival.  

Artis is good but sometimes he's QUITE inappropriate when you've got little kids with you.

Baby Gramps is the master busker.   First ran into him on a trail at the Oregon Country Fair.  I made the mistake of stopping for a second, caught by the sight of his brace of Nationals...  and my family had to go on without me.  Mesmerizing.  Hilarious.  Real music.  Very rare.
