Street Performers

I took these grainy cell-phone pictures of a group of Street Dancers performing in Herald Square.  The shirtless kid without the hat (above left) was absolutely adorable.  Here he is again, posing on the left...

Amazingly Talented Street Drummer

Not to mention extremely cute.

Musical Papis

Every once in a while a group of "musicians" will walk onto the subway car I'm riding in and put on a short show in exchange for tips. For the most part these are either semi-homeless men singing a capella ("Under The Boardwalk" is a popular selection), or Central/South American men singing in their native Spanish while playing guitars. And I usually just ignore them and continue doing whatever it was I was doing.

But these two gentleman were a little different. First of all, they were both extremely cute - unlike most other subway musicians. Secondly, they didn't sing at all - one played guitar, the other played violin. And the third thing that set them apart was their musical selection - they played "Smooth Criminal" by Michael Jackson! And they were EXCELLENT.

I NEVER give money to people on the subway or street, but I couldn't help giving these two cute Papis a couple bucks for serenading me with a song from the late King of Pop. And then I snapped these fuzzy pics with my cell phone and continued my subway ride...
