Tin guitar by awefaul
Dedicated to this old anonymous musician who amuse and entertain visitors to the Waterfront from all over the world for very little pay
An old busker with his electric guitar at the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town.
Wish I could include a sound clip. The music is very ‘African’. There is a stall nearby where you can buy these. Wide choice of brands like Mobil, Shell, Total and Castrol of course. Do you also think it is his playlist scratched on the rusty end?

Its strange how we can choose little bits of a scene in photography and highlight it with our photography.
Here we are focusing on the hands of a person and a strange sort of instrument. Marvellous, top pic my friend.
It is also strange how the image of a small part of a musician can reverberate all around the world long after the music stopped. Thanks Andrew.
