Chania Busker

Seen on the harbour front of Chania by the wall of the Firkas Fortress. As an accordeon player myself I am always interested to see and hear these buskers and only too willing to add a few coins to the collection.
Amazingly, as I was looking for a suitable piece of Greek accordion music to accompany this, I found the 'same person playing the exact same music too'. The video -no its not mine, gives a real insight of what this fellows daily life is like.

The real thing video. Enjoy full size.

Thanks Peter. When I was in Poland last year, I saw and heard buskers that were certainly professional musicians as their playing was so good. I hear many accordeon players and as a player myself with an extensive library of accordeon music I certainly know a good player from a bad. This fellows playing was not perfect but it was better than most that I hear from the streets. As said elsewhere, I have the feeling he was really good in his time. We never know with these buskers if they are suffering from any substance abuse etc which would no doubt affect their playing. Anyway, I liked his playing of that International music and gave a higher tip than usual for me :)
Cheers for the visit and thoughtful comment. Herb
