We play for tips- A tribute to street music
New Orleans, USA
Music sometimes gives more presence to a space then the architecture of it or the people in it.The lone musician playing his talent can liven up the most isolated of alleys. Be it a beautiful sunny day in spring or a frigid winter night – music can fill the space and enlighten the heart of the lone passerby.
New orleans has musicians on every corner. Some paid by the restaurants and cafes, but most off the ‘hood’ who play for tips. Part-time revelers who play to earn their daily beer by lending their music to break the eerie silence of a city rumoured for ghosts.
They make new orleans more beautiful. Without them it would have been just another city!
