Fly Me To The North Vancouver Shore

Hi Gang,
I'm a transit system busker in Vancouver, Canada.
People are always pointing cameras and phones and whatever at me. I just smile and play on, and hope that they tip. Most do. But, I rarely see any photos or footage.
A couple of months back, someone recorded me, and used my performance as a soundtrack for this video. I had no idea about this video until a ticket machine technician played it for me on his iPhone the other day. He spotted it on a forum somewhere.
I'm playing a Seydel Blues Session Steel harmonica in first postion, played on a neck rack. I'm also playing a RISA Solid Soprano Electric Ukulele.
I like how you handled this one. Solid vocals and harp work in a difficult environment. It must be very interesting busking in those places. Next time I come over from the Island, I'll have to keep an eye (and an ear) open for you.
