dotandcom Posted November 4, 2006 Share #1 Posted November 4, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) On a recent visit to Chicago, and lucky enough to get tickets to Symphony Hall, I met up with this delightful gentleman busking outside. I gather that he has worked the pitch for a long time, and the newspaper taped to his optimistically large bucket tells of how CSO musicians gave him a horn to use - what a generous gesture. I chatted to him, and he asked me where I came from. When I told him England he gave me a startlingly accurate rendition of 'God Save the Queen'! All done with the wicked twinkle that I hope comes across in this photograph. It was a lovely moment. All the best, Chris Leica D2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
