There was a
really great piece in the Chron this weekend about my favorite Bay Area street musician, the self-described
Artist General and Global Village Idiot Savant, the master of the cymbalom, Michael Masley. Whenever you see this guy out on the street playing, it's fun to stop and watch people have their first encounter with his music. You don't have to wait long before you spot a jaw or two just hanging open in awe and wonderment.
