This can't be the easiest way to make a living. Busking at Drottninggatan. I have seen and heard this man play his accordion a few times this Spring. But as no one uses cash in Stockholm, since around a decade, he can't expect to make much money. I only gave him a nod as I lifted the camera and took my photo. I am yet to identify the music he is playing, but it is most likely Romanian folk music.
He looks like having a story to tell with that expression
ReplyDeleteA sad story about a very hard life, no doubt.
DeleteHe doesn't look so happy. Maybe also because no one has coins in their pockets anymore. Same here with mostly Romanian and Bulgarian musicians.
ReplyDeleteI hope he gets some joy out of the music.
ReplyDeleteNot a happy player but maybe it gives him some enjoyment.
ReplyDeleteSad. I still use cash a lot.
