 AA> I checked that out. It's ok. For me, if I was out on the 
 AA> street, I wouldn't stick around for the whole thing (especially 
 AA> if I have to be somewhere). The Santana pieces have a nice 
 AA> groove - but they can tend to sound the same after a while. Most 
 AA> of the Santana pieces that I like are the ones with vocals - 
 AA> they add some interest and variety to the basic signature sound.

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 
 AA> the briefcase was funny (afraid to get closer? ..and maybe drop 
 AA> in a few coins?.. ..or maybe he already did that.) ..but the 
 AA> real reason he was standing around for so long was eventually 
 AA> revealed. ;)

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 :-),
