Recordist's notes
I heard a busker on the street, five floors down from my balcony, playing the accordion. Only when he changed to the other side of the street, I could also see him. He would usually play for people sitting in front of cafés and restaurants. The same tune every day, as soon as it gets warm. But now... in the empty street of Corona pandemic times, he wandered around, until someone in the house on the opposite side, from his balcony, threw some money inside a bag down to the street for him to take. Then he continued his walk. Recorded on Sony PCM D100
