The European Experience: Part 9

Street Musicians
Almost Everywhere

One of the things I miss most about Europe: the buskers that fill the air with their myriad of transient music. In Paris; the cool liquid sound of a saxophone and the twinkling of keys. In Rome; brightly-coloured children dancing around an accordion-playing gypsy woman. In Amsterdam; a duo of classical guitars and a Bob Marley look-a-like playing several ethnic instruments at once.

It is enchanting, and an adventure to walk down the streets and listen to the soundtrack of each city. How I wish we had that culture here! We have a long way to go in that aspect
