Impromptu Band Performance on the streets a couple of blocks from my apt..

11:00p.m Monday night.. I am working at home and I hear some great music coming from outside.. seems like it's nearby a few blocks away. Walked out to go check it out and it was am impromptu performance by the marines band. They had come to town for the Blue Angels Air Show and were staying at hotel nearby and I guess as it's their last night in SF, they were partying it up a notch. This is one of the advantages of living in downtown close to all the happening places.

Street Tango Dancing, Buenos Aires, Argentina

While walking around in Buenos Aires, I encountered many tango street performances. It's always great to watch such great shows for a few pesos donation. I did not have too much time while there to take extensive tango lessons, but I did try it a couple of times in my hostels.. the basic steps and beat isn't too bad.. but I am sure combining them together to look gracious is a whole another story :)

Awesome Beatles Street Performance on Haight Street by Alex Rok !

San Francisco is host to the best steet musicians and today while on Haight St, i saw this awesome beatles performance by Alex Rok! He was excellent !!! I wish he does get some gigs in the city. He said he's looking for gigs ! Lots of talent !

I came back home and googled him as I thought he was excellent and I found out that, that guy holds a Guiness Records

"Alex broke the Guinness Book of World Records mark for “Longest Concert by Solo Artist”. He played 32 hours at Pub Bourbon Street in Radomsko, Poland from June 20 to 21, 2009. He performed from memory nearly 500 songs, including nearly all the Beatles songs."

He has his own website (http://www.alexrok.com/) and has been touring Europe etc..

SF Streets is always full of good surprises !
