Banjo, beard and baco but bicycles are banned

Think the two buskers here may have been playing some sort of blue grass but I'm not an aficionado - it did sound rather 'niche' though.
Above his head is an ode to tobacco - the last remnant of Bacon's tobacconist. Written by Charles Calverley in 1862 - he came to Cambridge after being expelled from Oxford - probably not for smoking...

Three GT:
1. WhatsApp which allows sporadic contact with Adam for no charge.
2. Nicholas who was keeping Adam company on the Amtrak when it broke down with no Air Con and no windows and was 2 hours late arriving in NY.
3. Adam was chipper about it - the challenges of public transport in a developing country ;0))

haha, nice title. Fun shot

[Susan Knowles]

lol, love it.

[Hazel]

Love it - fav.

[Pete]

Great - love buskers (well, most of them anyway!)

[Alison Tomlin]

He looks a bit suspicious... Wish I could play one of those. I hope you noticed that the break away stayed ahead today and the leader won the stage. Sometimes it works!

[Maggiemae]

Its a whopping banjo! Would make a lot of loud music but I like the sound. Must get a cap like this and wear it while playing my ukelele!

[Matt Clendon]

I like it, and the caption is priceless. :)

[Graham Harcombe]

Super street capture and I love the title.

[Pat Knowles]

Two different signs telling two different stories. Fantastic that he sat underneath! Exciting travels in the USA!

[Judith]

Great portrait.

[Phil Howcroft]

a top bit of street photography Judith. Whatsapp is pretty cool :)

[Terry]

What a cool street shot

[Christine]

Great shot

[Gail]

Love this street shot, Judith.

[Molly]

Great candid, Judith, especially with the judicious placing of the signs. Did you take this from a distance away? Not sure I'd dare do this if I was too close! Found WhatsApp really useful when my daughter was in Kazakhstan recently.

[Helen K]

Nice composition for this street shot! Tells a story I think!

[Janna E.]

Nice hair ;).

[Shanne]

great character

[Boxplayer]

Oh no a banjo player. Only just lower in the unpopularity stakes as a melodeon player (but above a bodhran player)...

[JH]

Mildly intrigued by @boxplayer 's folky rankings...

[Boxplayer]

@jewelsandbinoculars - it's that thing that seems to happen in certain genres of music, where certain musical instrument players are, often unfairly, denigrated ... In classical music, it's viola players, drummers seem to get it in the neck a lot, and in folk music bodhran and banjo players...
