This is wonderful. A street musician plays the clarinet and his dog sings.

1. That is one dog that earns his keep!

2. If the number of people throwing paper into the case is any indication

that dog is dining on steak and that man will die rich.

Only a couple of people gave the doggie a pet. That seems a little strange to me. Her yodeling made the performance special.

3. I've never seen that many people giving money to a street musician in such a short time.

I've only seen people who walk past, smile politely, with
every 25th person throwing in a dime or two. Like that.

4. I have. They had to be really good, though.

They also had to have a really prime spot like this guy has.

7. and it probably helps to have a singing dog.

5. I gave an airport musician a 50 dollar bill once

I hadn't been sleeping well and was very tired and wired; I felt miserable awaiting a late flight but listening to some of his lovely violin melodies calmed me down

6. that's what they deserve,

in my opinion. I think of how easy it is to waste
a few dollar bills, but it is just as easy to give them
to somebody.

I gave $20 to a homeless guy who was playing
a severely beaten up saxophone. He did not know
how to play but was managing a few melancholy
notes and I would have given him a hundred $ if
I'd had it. Someone had thrown the instrument out.
He figured, might as well learn to play.

8. They certainly got more attention thanJoshua Bell did when he played incognito in the DC metro

9. I wonder if they split the take 50-50...

...since they're both pretty good musicians - a good relationship for both, friendship and a good income.

I took two years of Russian in college and have acquired reasonable fluency in Dogish from my five canine companions, but I can't merge to understand the lyrics the dog is singing.

In honor of a dog and his human best friend, a song by Joni Mitchell:

Thanks for the post, kpete.

I'm glad to see that quite a few people were giving him something.
