Hi Markus I’ve been following you for a while and loving your music, but I wondered why some of your more recent videos have been produced in portrait format instead of your usual landscape format which is so much more tv friendly…?? Maybe it’s to satisfy the phone gazing lost soul generation, I don’t know, but whatever it is I think landscape format is so much better encompassing a much wider vista of your location and audience. Just my two penny worth, but keep up the good work man spreading the love and the class music.👍👍
I feel like almost every town/city that I check out on here as a potential busking location I find a video of you, you sure do get around! Hopefully catch you in the flesh one day.
Weer geweldig, Markus ❤. Ik kan gewoon in het Nederlands commentaar geven, nu ik weet dat je hier vandaan komt. Ik kan de hele dag naar je muziek luisteren.
I like your music choice, and your playing and performance. But I have to confess that I agree it can be overbearing and annoying when buskers use full amplified setups. I’ve only ever done a little busking myself, but it was always un-amplified or with a small belt clip amp at most. I remember when I was cycling through Europe, we were once on this beautiful old cobbelstone pedestrian market area in Canterbury, when we came upon a busker, playing some kind of medieval recorder in a small corner, and it was beautiful and fit so well with the surroundings and the entire vibe of the place. Meanwhile, a distance away, there was a busker with a PA, and he was blaring himself singing silly Burl Ives tunes that you could hear for blocks around. It was not cool, and not very well received by the passers by.
The good mood and fellowship he created is what todays gung ho prick cops have forgotten. The bastards should have threw some money in and pulled up a seat! Instead they alienated everyone there, erased the smiles! Leave people alone!
