Ari, one of the many street musicians that I enjoy hearing in Boston. I'm never sure who I'm going to find as I meander home from work. This space will be used to keep notes on who I see and hear. So I'm just trying to find Ari for a song or two on my travels home, so let's go find Ari....

Bagpipes
I found a fellow playing the Bagpipes on Friday outside of the Harvard Coop in Harvard Square. The Bagpipes, as a street perfomer's instrument, I would imagine are found in few cities on this continent. I noticed a few things. One that it was hard to get close enough to give the fellow any money. Two he didn't have to take a break in between tunes due to the bag being able to hold the warbling drone while he took a breather. I was impressed nonetheless with being able to hear Bagpipes at the beginning of my Easter Weekend. I didn’t however give him any money mainly because I didn’t want to weather the sonic assault to do so.
