Talking of which Some time ago a friend coming back from a trip in the States showed me some video footage he had shot in the streets. There was this old, beautifully smiling black man sitting on a box on a street corner; in one hand he had a metal plate on which he bounced some coins; with that and his voice he was making varied and moving blues - and it wouldn't have sounded better if he had had an orchestra. The man obviously had a soul. I admire and feel envious for those who can make music with whatever they have.
