   When I lived in Vancouver I'd encounter a busker from time to time and I was   
   usually busy with something or had places to be so I never hung around either.   
      
   I'm a Santana fan so maybe that is why it caught my eye. :)   
      
   I have never seen him sing, I don't think that is what he does.   
      
    AA> But why would you listen at a distance? I thought the guy with

   I listen at a distance because Vancouver is ~5 hours away from there. I never   
   noticed the guy with a briefcase, I'll have to watch again.   
      
   The first time I saw that guy he was doing some ZZ Top, I am also a ZZ Top fan   
   so there ya go.. :)   
      
    Ttyl :-),
