Random
Seriously, what’s up with the guy on Market and 1st (in front of Specialty’s), here in the Financial District who plays with the bag pipes.
The bizarre, extremely random nature of his playing schedule is what gets me:
- Literally playing rain (like today), hail (like a month ago), or shine (like the unseasonably warm temperatures we had a week ago)
- Often starts as early as 8 am and finishes to as late as 9pm
- The fact that I can clearly make out the sound of his pipes from my desk on the 8th floor, almost a full block and a half away, OVER the construction work being done in close proximity
- And finally, noone ever tips him — so obviously he’s doing it for the pure love of it. Again, it, being a bag pipe. Enough said.
