Cute gimmick. But he should get a bigger dog so he could get a bigger tip jar!

Sharon said...

What a great shot. I love that little dog holding the jar but, I have to agree with Kathy. He might have more success with a bigger jar (and dog).

What a cute dog to hold the tip jar! Great shot.

The music may be from Eastern Europe, but the dog looks like it is from Mexico.

What a fabulous capture - love the dog :-).

Oh, this is fantastic! But what a way to make a living! I wonder if the dog gets a cut of everything taken in? Really cute!

Re your comment on Stone Creek: Herb is a very nice guy and yes, I'd prefer his job over any kind of call center! He doesn't make much - and it's just part-time - but he does get free golf!

TexWisGirl said...

What a terrific shot, JM! I love the tile work -- makes a great backdrop, the expression on the little dogs face is priceless and the young musician -- perfect! Enjoy your evening!

I enjoy any busker shot, but this one has the aaaw cuteness factor thrown in.

Anzu said...

I would like to try it with my dog, if possible. (・´`U

It's usually quite entertaining music...

Rob Siemann said...

Por Itália e Espanha vi muitos músicos na rua. Tenho vontade de fazer um post sobre isso, mas ainda não o fiz. Aqui no Brasil quando há músicos são de outros países da América do Sul.

@Joo: I don't know which eastern european country he is from, but I guess he might me a gipsy. Opposite to men, women are easily identified for their long skirts and scarf covered heads.

Kay said...

Perfect shot! I wonder what his instrument is - it doesn't look like any accordion I've seen (not that I've studied them). Perhaps it's missing a cover where the strings are. The dog looks bored. The tiny cup says "low expectations" to me.

VP said...

Not exactly my kind of entertainment...

Halcyon said...

And a dog from the Americas! :)

Unknown said...

Love this shot - who can resist a doggie?!

genie said...

What a stunning portrait of this musician and his little dog. The expression you caught on his face is wonderful. The lighting is perfect. genie

Judy said...

Adorable! I would put money in there.

Bob Crowe said...

He looks like he could be North African. It is a variation on a theme seen throughout much of the world. Quite a beautiful instrument. What is it the dog seems to be holding in its mouth?

Randy said...

I love his cute little companion.

Joan Elizabeth said...

The little dog probably doubles his takings.

PerthDailyPhoto said...

Excellent shot JM, not sure if that little dog is keen on the music, he has big ears and a pained expression like he's thinking 'tone it down a bit man!' haha!

Gunn said...

A nice close shot!
They are here too.
(Probably wormer where you are.)

The guy is so cute and has such a far away look and is probably very talented, but his little companion steals the show!
