and I haven't been able to post anything. On the way to LaSall and Jackson from the Olgivie Train Station I came across this man on the bridge. I'd seen him before doing the same thing. He stands out among the panhandlers and buskers I see in the city. Why? Because he delivers. While others shake cups on street corners or play $1000 guitars in an attempt to make a day's wage this man is total DIY.
Every time I pass him he's doing the same thing - beating on a drum set that he made mostly from scratch. Pickle buckets, coffee cans, a beat up old tom and a couple of symbols attached to whatever - that's all this man needs to make music.
His detrmination to do what he wants to do despite a low budget is inspiring. You gotta love the DIY.|
This video is for him.
