The Broken Strings, Whatever Works

I was cycling through one of the citys shopping streets when a beautiful, warm, vibrating wave of sound found my ear. I looked around, and behind a wall of chinese students I found him. An older man, in his fifties maybe, with a guitar and an amplifier. I cycled past him, enjoying the music, the made up my mind and turned around, for I'd seen a few cd's in the open case at his feet. A small sign read: 'Free cd, donations welcome'. I dropped a handfull of coins in the case and picked up a cd. The man smiled and nodded.
Later that day, while home alone, I played the cd and immidiatelt fell in love with it when I hear the first notes of Mad World drift out from the speakers.
I know nothing else about this man but that he looks like the guy from breaking bad and that he makes wonderful guitar covers.

I'm trying to find a way to upload the music somewhere so that I can put a link to them here. So that wil follow.

And here is a lovely video to go with Mad World:


As someone remarks in the comments: never will this brave bird die but fly forever in my heart
