I think playing in streets is more socially remarkable than in a concert. Part of the magic this person creates resides on the fact she plays for everybody who want to listen and doesn't expect such beautifullness in their routines. In a concert there are only people from a selected social segment who previously knows (or have an idea) of what they're going to see and listen. Did you see how many people stopped to watch and listen to her?
Sometimes it matters not the size of your hall but rather the audience that you have in it. He has the skill but the charm of what it is and how he plays it could be lost. He captured everyones attention. this video has almost 10,000 hits. I think if he knew that it would make his day. I certainly love comming back and watching this again and again. fav'ed
I came across him by accident one day in Central park many years ago. His music is magical and he is the sweetest soul. I've been looking for him ever since.
Fantastic. Like some one else said he should be playing in some super concert hall, or teaching kids in schools. He is brilliant. Thanks for posting this one- Jane.
you find your best music on the streets...That is where started....and may go back again...it comes from the heart... Well done and many blessings....Big Gerry
What a skill... It's soo sad to see the real brilliance and talent in the street. If this guy plays in concert hall I would happily pay to attend his show. God bless him
To see this person would have tore $50 from me, and the shame the person is in NY, hopefully they make their living. Greensleeves is a great melody, and I hope this person lives comfortably having this talent.
@mpakos18473 yes, my friend, so sad...but he dont have art director, like many today..he dont have life for sale...he is artist number one... nice king song...and king artist... good luck ..
I realized...... "Her" name is Arlen Oleson. What a nice player she is! You can find her by search, and download a few songs for free! What a generous person she is!
Am I the only one reminded of the Mystics from "The Dark Crystal" by his manners and pose? Sans the extra pair of arms of course. Regardless, he's a fantastic musician.
1 dislike? I'd say that's pretty good considering the 261 likes....but seriously...Was it because the title said "best"? Aside from that the title was exactly what it said it was and an awesome version...Internet Y U NO SENSE MAKE??? ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
is the poor man struggling with money? It's beautiful, the playing, and sorry if he's not poor and I'm just making a mistake I don't wanna offend anybody, just asking.

My feet are in this clip. I am the one who originally asked him to play greensleeves.
Hehe he is making more money then I do at my slave job, and he does it while enjoying it :)
@mpakos18473 REALY!!! YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!! ITS AWESOME
I realized......
"Her" name is Arlen Oleson.
What a nice player she is!
You can find her by search, and download a few songs for free!
What a generous person she is!
Actually this is a man.
@StopTheMoti0n That is muscle memory my friend =)
If you paid attention you'd know it wasn't Henry VIII who composed this. That's a popular misconception
@mpakos18473 Actually, an experiment was done once where a famous violin player played a stradivarius in the subway... people just walked right on by.
:)
Maybe he wants to play in the street.
Am I the only one reminded of the Mystics from "The Dark Crystal" by his manners and pose? Sans the extra pair of arms of course.
Regardless, he's a fantastic musician.
Who is this man?
I've heard him before on UA-cam.
If anyone cares to lend me some info, I really like listening to this man play the hammer dulcimer.
She is a woman named Arlen.
Wonderful!
I want to know this musician's name.
Anybody know him?
@muffin8or I got this... ;) Funny but sad.
1 dislike? I'd say that's pretty good considering the 261 likes....but seriously...Was it because the title said "best"? Aside from that the title was exactly what it said it was and an awesome version...Internet Y U NO SENSE MAKE??? ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
an amazing woman. wonder if she will get her film made on the boat? blessings Arlen...
This is so beautiful almost as beautiful as a young girl is capable of being.
that's kind of creepy
it's a byzantine instrument :)
Alas, it is wrong that society has cast him off discourteously
is the poor man struggling with money? It's beautiful, the playing, and sorry if he's not poor and I'm just making a mistake I don't wanna offend anybody, just asking.
@UpcomingJedi some people can't do this kind of "work"- perhaps you did not consider that?
@Cowboycurtis888
Just like the Arthurian epic was a rumor, both are false.
@soiledmcribs
I'm 37!
What?
I'm 37 I'm not old!
a little sad, sound not perfect, you are great!
@czobsessed i dont think is a woman
@Wargumm1i ??? Slave job?
Someone with poor mouse control. :)
Best version ? far from it
