Tonight a guy told me to check out Michael Pickett

Reblog: Harpin’ on the Street; Music from the Pedestrian Lane
Came across and wanted to reblog a post by a fellow harp player named Pete Ak who tells of his days busking a small Welsh vacation town. Definitely worth a read! After you’re done, head over to his blog, Pakinwunmi,
