Street Musician
New York City is two places. One is the weekday version were a couple million commuters flood the city and everyone is walking around stressed and pissed off and the weekend version where most of the people are off from their nine to five drudgery except for mostly young millennials who make the overwhelming bulk of those working retail and in the restaurants, essential service workers and some IT people working on salary abuse. Needless to say on the weekend the city is a much more chilled place and especially on the weekends a lot of musicians are out probably free from their weekday day jobs and set themselves up to rack some spare tax free spare cash. This guy had a least a decent singing voice, knew how to play the guitar and knew how to work the crowd making observations and jokes between songs and as I tossed in a few bucks in as one of the unwritten rules of respect is that you tip street musicians or performers if take pictures or video them.
