Troubadours of Basin Spring Park


Colorful street musicians entertain visitors to Basin Spring Park in the heart of Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

I rarely engage in “street photography.”  This couple offered themselves as easy targets and the resulting image, in my mind, is priceless.  I realize, most people wont find anything special here – it doesn’t reveal the awesome light of a landscape sunrise, the intricate design of a floral macro or the wonder of a well crafted nature photo.  Still, it is special to me because, within its frame, I find so many interesting elements. The more I stare at it, the more I see. Let me start a list…

The musicians, themselves; an interesting couple to say the least. I find their expressions and attire intriguing. I wonder if they are romantically engaged or simply musically engaged. (By the way, as musicians and singers, they were quite enjoyable.)

Then there’s the instruments. These something highly appealing to me about an aged, well-worn guitar.  Zooming in, I couldn’t tell the brand, but the fret board has “125th Anniversary” printed with pearl inlay.

The upright bass shows comfortable wear, but what grabs my eye is the rosette (made of terrycloth, or some similar material) on the head.

The gal’s knee brace reveals something about injury and personal struggle.

Her boots are an interesting match with the Under Armor knee socks.

The banjo on the bench.  An interesting accessory.

The banjo case at their feet – a collection point for appreciative patrons (a couple dollars visible) with the “Hobo Knife” bumper sticker.

Both have some interesting tattoos on their arms.

That’s a good start.  I purposely left out a few other items that I find interesting, to give you a chance to point them out.  If you see something that catches your eye, leave a comment below.
