So, there we were walking down the street and I heard this guy playing on the other side of the street and then saw that he was on the unicycle. When he finished his song I yelled and clapped. He was so happy to be acknowledged that he shouted "Wait! Can you listen to one more?"
I said "sure" and was able to catch the whole thing on my Nikon Coolpix5400. The whole thing was quite spontaneous and I'm pleased that it actually came out with all the traffic noise and cars!
This was one of the things that made our weekend in Santa Barbara so special!

Bravo, indeed!

Poor bugger - I didn't notice anyone donating a few coins for his performance. Perhaps he was hoping for a Hollywood talent scout.

I love street muscians or subway entertainers.....they just make you feel so alive and in the moment.

This is surreal, alright. The whole performance has a Koyanisqaatsi-like feel, with the traffic rushing by and the guitar music that sounds like something by Phillip Glass.

I'm at the library using free wi-fi and forgot headphones, so I'll have to watch this later.

Great video, Jan, what a rush it must have been to catch this guy in action!
