@Mike – the term for a busker who doesn’t busk (in English anyway) might be “total busker”

Sooo spooky. Just settled down to watch South Park from last week and what’s it all about ?..the pan pipe playing groups that pop up everywhere. The kids reckon it’s an easy way to make money so form their own Peruvian band.

Now that’s what I call co-inky-dink.

New York is such a fast-paced city that most of us from somewhere else is still trying to keep up. Arizona is still praying for good public transportation. Lord knows the best bus schedule here runs every 30 minutes. And yes, my friend, that’s the best it could get.

The perks override the citizen’s rudeness, in my opinion. I’d argue with someone anytime of the day if I could flag a cab to go anywhere whenever I want.

Please, wave hello to NY for me

ExpatMum:
Don’t jump to conclusions. Pan flute music in a low ceiling, hard surfaced, busy subway station at rush hour is not the same as a pan flute in a park on a Sunday afternoon.

Oh dear – if pan flute music doesn’t make you all calm and kind, you have been living there too long! Time to move!

To be fair to the guy, I’m sure he’s very talented and that the music blasting out from his amp is music that he recorded himself. But this morning he was wandering around as the music played, smiling at commuters and generally ignoring the pan pipes/pan flute for all he was worth.

Melanie – there is no excuse for My Heart Will Go On at any time of the day, but ESPECIALLY at 8.36am…

I LOVE plan flute guy! One of my old colleagues who moved to New York used to text me every time he played My Heart Will Go On at precisely 8:36 every morning.

Mr ‘dodgy bowels’ Pugo must’ve split from his boy band as I’ve usually seen a bunch of them everywhere from Toronto to San Francisco, from London to Paris. Ok, admittedly that’s as far as my travels have taken me. I used to wonder if it was the same group as, after all, throw a thin but colourful rug over your shoulders, add a big ethnic hat and slip on some moon boots and you’ll look kosher Peruvian to me.

At least the group DID play their instruments. I think. Hard to tell after the 500th rendition of ‘Guantanamera.’ Maybe Pugo went solo but was the talentless one that every boy band has.
