Keepin' it alive

Just very happy to see the younger generation being interested in music & keeping the passion alive. In this day & age, youths out there are too immersed into social media & thinking that's the benchmark of personal ability. If you stop to take pics of performing individuals out there, please offer some contributions, even if it means giving up loose change; it means a lot to them. 

JB

I am rather proximate to  Johor Bahru. On a good day, I can reach City Square shopping center in 40min by bus. This includes custom clearance. I was here last weekend & saw these street musicians performing to their original compositions. We decided to have dinner first before coming back to enjoy some songs.

However, upon returning, he was already done for the day. Managed to get a closer look at his gear; a lefty Ibanez RG170 (judging by the shark tooth inlays, this should be the DX version) & an MXR Fullbore Metal. 

D'Suara

Was at JB earlier today & watched this uncle played some oldies & contemporary hits to while away the moments while the Mrs. & Aunt went shopping. He's stationed at the entrance of Plaza Angsana.

That Gibson there is not the genuine article - custom headstock, black body binding... these are obvious red flags. However, the tones that he pulled off (no pun intended) were more than decent. Also, uncle played his guitar effortlessly, most of the time, he's not looking at the instrument, the infallible auto-mode took over. He didn't mind his photo taken as well. Nice guy with an equally nice set of tones (clean / driven) to ply his trade with. Respect.

Busker...

The average busker today isn't one armed with pathetic equipment. The visually impaired individual above was seen with a Godin guitar & Crate amp, chances are, his equipment is more desireable than ours...
