vintage

with its large market and many shops, Granville Island is busy on weekends, and so a good place for buskers...this man was singing some great French songs from the 1930s and 40s, as well as some of his own compositions in a similar style...I thanked him for the photo-op by buying one of his CDs....for the guitaristas, that is a vintage Gibson he is playing

An amazing old Gibson! I'll bet the sound was neat. Glad you purchased a CD. Always nice to give these hard working musicians some support. It looks cold but the image is warm with his friendly smile and rich wood guitar. V

Marvelous candid David! V We did the same thing in Salzburg back in October! :)

Fantastic capture of this street musician. His gloves look quite useful for cold weather. Love that vintage guitar. I bet it sounded wonderful. V.

Great portrait of this musician with his well-worn guitar. Must be difficult playing outdoors in the cold weather. V

A classic - guitar and songs by the sound of it - nice portrait.

Excellent capture of this musician plying his trade. Somehow I can imagine him singing old French songs, from that face. V.

My, that guitar's seen some miles, David. What a beauty! Fine shot of this smart-looking busker. V

A wonderful portrait of this content and thoughtful looking musician. Noticed the Gibson right away, though it looks like it needs some restoration work. "V"
