145/365 "billy" (bilal)

busker who plays a homemade cross between a banjo & a sitar at the farmer's market, made of scraps & looks as hillbilly as they come. but the music! haunting & exotic...deep & dirty & low-down blues threaded through like embroidery on a saree.

yup, wow is right! he's amazing...and as soon as i can manage it, i'm going to have him make me one of those things...he makes them and sells them when he can. even though i have absolutely no idea how to play it...or any other stringed instrument! he calls it a harp.
