It's a frame thing on his legs. Seen this before somewhere.
Wow, there are so many interesting performers in Liverpool! Sorry, but do you know, that if you will film them with any device you have you can win a digital camera? I'm working for R&R Music and running the buskers competition. The rules are simple -
1. Film the street performer you like
2. Upload your video to YouTube
3. Paste the code here - http://randrworld.com/buskers.php
Each month we will reward with a digital camera the person who submits the video and story that receives the most votes during that month from the users of R&R World Arena.
Try yourself! :)

Church St buskers
Saw this old chap in Paradise st today.
I felt sorry for him -he looked so bedraggled and frail ! The music he was playing was so feint you could hardly hear it !
He looked to me like he should have been in a comfy armchair somewhere - not hanging around the town.
It's a shame !
Maybe Lindylou... He feels alive getting out and playing his violin to whoever wants to listen.. He at least had music in his soul, and a lovely violin to play... Frail, maybe... full of music....priceless.... Hope you gave him a few bob..
yes I give him some of my change :)
I took a photo of him a couple of weeks ago ,I've never seen him play as everytime I've gone past him he's standing over his case trying to get his violin out

He does look clean... Just a musical olde soul.. Love it...

Liverpool busker by exacta2a, on Flickr
Seen in Church St today, couldn`t play at Wimbledon so picked a "racket" in Lverpool, the 17th string was a bit flat though.
Hi Joe
Is that just a gag or does he actually get some sound out of it?
Chris
He's trying to copy 'plink plink' - the famous cardboard guitar character.
See the cd player on the floor Chris,the funny thing is,the tune coming out of it was Acker Bilk`s "Stranger on the shore"

Any body remember Harry Bendon ?
the busker from outside GH Lee in Liverpool in the 70's ?

Harry was born in Glasgow.. he topped the bill at the Glasgow Empire after the war
as a child performer under the stage name of 'Boy McLean'
Harry passed away in 1994 in a West Yorkshire nursing home.. he was 74..

Tony gave Jacko his 1st cut out guitar in Hessy's
.. and that was that.. he was off and away..!

Very fine, Joe and Gerard. I had seen that photograph of Jacko performing at the Eleanor Rigby monument but Gerard's photograph of him is new to me. As you say, Gerard, there is a story in those eyes.
All the best
Chris
Thanks Chris, that photo Chris was taken outside Mother Care on Whitechapel.
Not long after Jackson was beaten up by low life and was almost left for dead..
he was in the Royal for a long time and later a nursing home..
he's out now... or was, I'm not sure how he is or where he is
as he has not been seen around the town for a long while.
talking of which...
I'm off out... to capture Liverpools past today..
Cheers Chris...
Gerard..
In Jacko's Eyes
As you say, there's a whole world in there.
In the photo, he's unshaven with battered
straw hat, smoking a filter-tip cigarette,
his white eyebrows shooting out wildly.
We remember him at the Eleanor Rigby statue,
on the bench sitting next to her bronze figure,
strumming his cut-out cardboard guitar.
"Ah, look at all the lonely people!"

Thanks, Gerard. I thought you'd probably like the poem.
Chris
Thanks for the pics GD and Gerard. It saves me the job of hunting for a pic :)
I was going to try and find one to post up after I'd mentioned 'Plink, Plink'
I think this fella is good ......he just stands or sits for hours :)
