You surprised me, I thought you would hate him. He's very gifted and seems to have a lot of intelligence. Large vocabulary. He used to go basking on the streets of London when he was 17, and a person who heard him said him up for a record deal. But he couldn't handle it at 17. Interesting story.

BTW, I had no clue was the heck basking was. If's a street artist who collects tips in a basket. 😋

Anyway, I'm glad you liked him. I also linked you to a group called The Score & the Album Atlas. which I also found interesting, but more along the normal lines of music.

Maybe they call it “basking” in England, but here it is called “busking”. Tracy Chapman did a lot of it in Harvard Square before she had her big break. I have done it myself. Back in the 1960’s I sat on Boston Common with flowers in my hair singing my own songs and playing guitar.

The hippies loved me but never had any money, ha ha ha.

So I’ve been playing music for people for over a half century.

I still do. In fact I’m headed out tonight to play. LOL.

One of my songs is on my home page...the lyrics that is.

Yes, the Score is good, but familiar-sounding, whereas Ren sounds really unique.
