Nice! Again, hard to take an interesting shot of street musicians but his 
facial expression makes it.

And again, very well rendered. 

Like!

Btw, did you notice what type of dobro? I've never seen a National that wasn't 
metal and this one looks like a wood top, so I'm curious...

Re: PESO - Ragtime John

Frank, it's a Del Vecchio from Brazil:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Del_Vecchio_(guitar_maker)

Most likely one of the DinĂ¢mico guitars. John told me it's an antique.
It's certainly really well used; half of the soundhole grills are
missing or caved in. They used gorgeous Brazilian wood in the top
plate.

Apparently rare outside Brazil, but semi-famous because Chet Atkins
played one. The construction is dubious and they're often out of tune,
but this one sounded wonderful, I thought.

This was a decisive moment shot. John tended not to smile; he had a
fixed guitar face on most of the time but when a big guy walked past
he looked up, smiled and made eye contact. Got him! :-)

Thanks, Frank.
