More like autistic.

But seriously, his movements make me think he might really be autistic.

That's the second stupidest thing I've heard today. He's playing the accordion while sitting down, singing, hitting a bass pedal and using one foot to mimic a snare drum sound with whatever the fu*k that is.

How the hell do you get autistic out of that?

His jerky movements, his facial expressions, subtle clues. Could be wrong. Probably am, but I'm just sayin.

Pretty silly looking I'd think. You'd probably think I was "special" by the way I would look and sound.

That's pretty damn cool if you ask me. That'd take huge amounts of talent.

Yeah that guy is pretty good.

When I was living in Europe, I heard some of the best street musicians I could even contemplate. They are on a whole different level than we are over here.

The best acoustic display I've ever seen was while I was on a train (an U-bahn... don't know another word for it... one of those semi-long distance trains that goes across the city...) in Italy. Going from one end of Rome to the other. There was a group (4 or 5) of what appeared to be high school kids, playing classical instruments. They were SUPER tight, and sounded absolutely AMAZING. I don't know of those crazy Italians designed their trains with acoustics in mind, but it was better than any concert I've ever been to. The violinist came around the train at the end of their songs with a cup for tips... unfortunately I didn't have any money on me at the time. I would have really liked to have given them some cash.

I was surprised he knew the song...

Actually now that you mention it, so does Memphis. They are kinda sanctioned here though, they roll out all their s*** on the street (entire bands, drums, amps, everything) and just start jamming. Some of those guys are REALLY good too. SRV style

Yeah, I enjoyed Nashville when I went though. It seems like that city has more money than Memphis, or they just use it more wisely.

You need to come over to Memphis soon. I haven't been in a while, nor have we hung out in a while.
