"Takin' a Break"

As I stolled the downtown Plaza of Santa Fe, one of the first things that caught my attention was a handsome street musician gathering his thoughts before starting on his next "set". But his rugged good looks were just the beginning, because what demanded one's attention, was when this entertainer began to sing. His voice was one of clarity, power and pitch that made you pause and absorb the musical magic that was being created. It made me question how so many "no-talent" personalities are raking in millions, while this obviously gifted performer is relegated to singing for tips around a fountain in a park in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
