They're a twin...so sad that both went blind...but their talents're there...very professional with musical instruments...how many are there out there can be as good as them..blind yet play so well..their never-give-up attitude inspire me...*pei fu*...
Think they stay at yishun...is it? -
I think there is one guy playing recorder at bugis area. Outside OG, near Guang Yin Temple there. Looks like an ang mo.
-
yeah....he can play pop songs, oldies, festive songs, english, chinese, even hokkien classics.....play and sing at same time.....Originally posted by dcx:They're a twin...so sad that both went blind...but their talents're there...very professional with musical instruments...how many are there out there can be as good as them..blind yet play so well..their never-give-up attitude inspire me...*pei fu*...

i dun see him as a beggar......i see him as a performer...... -
Yah...that blind man has my utmost respect. Don't know why, but I feel that he deserve my most respect among the rest of those handicap people. There's always a women helping him...bringing meals to him and feeding him, accompanying him. I rather donate money to him than to give those charities.Originally posted by The Hobbit:Who's the blind guy playing the organ at Orchard Road station.......in the underpass underneath Orchard Road itself, there's that blind guy begging for contributions. He sets up a complete electronic keyboard with amplifier. He sings chinese pop tunes. Every day, as best I can tell.
The police never chase him away.
What's the story on this guy?
-
Yup...he's a performer and the best one around...probably. Because he performs live concerts everyday for people who use that underpass.Originally posted by FireIce:yeah....he can play pop songs, oldies, festive songs, english, chinese, even hokkien classics.....play and sing at same time.....
i dun see him as a beggar......i see him as a performer......
Probably has already set the world record for performing the most live concerts in the entire career of any performers...without breaking a sweat.
Anyone want to join me for a live concert? -
Yah...that ang moh. Don't like him at all...got arms got legs got eyes, but chose to beg. Wtf....typical lazy bum @ss of an ang moh!Originally posted by eurofighter:I think there is one guy playing recorder at bugis area. Outside OG, near Guang Yin Temple there. Looks like an ang mo.
Will never donate a cent to him. -
i beg to differ on the part about begging.Originally posted by parn:Yah...that ang moh. Don't like him at all...got arms got legs got eyes, but chose to beg. Wtf....typical lazy bum @ss of an ang moh!

busking is very common in the western countries. and rather than purely begging, he is performing on the streets - risking humiliation and all - for money.
tt is different from simply sitting there and asking for donations, wich is begging. -
Yealor...can play n sing at the same time...wat really surprise me is that he also can sing quite well...it's not something you would expect or encounter someone which such talents...ability to play so much instruments and sing well....esp. when festive seasons arrive, he'll sure bound to play n sing them..he creates the festive atmosphere
in the underpass...
I'm proud to be living in Yishun..
Come to think of it,....if possible, i would wanna vote him..or rather, them for the Singapore Idol..rather than those kns sh*tA$$ people...Originally posted by FireIce:yeah....he can play pop songs, oldies, festive songs, english, chinese, even hokkien classics.....play and sing at same time.....

Well...I would like to categorise them into 2 categories.Originally posted by wuming78:i beg to differ on the part about begging.

Busking with talents = Street Performer. (Those that you see commonly in those western countries..they have heaps of talent in them but they need to be discovered)
Busking without talents = Begger. (That ang moh in Bugis)
I figured that the blind man in the orchard underpass and his brother in yishun should produce their own CD soundtracks...which the public can buy from them. Well...they are talented aren't they? Think this should generate more income for them and their charities.
Why nobody is doing it for them? -
maybe he is humble and dun wanna go commercial........Originally posted by parn:I figured that the blind man in the orchard underpass and his brother in yishun should produce their own CD soundtracks...which the public can buy from them.

anyway if he has been and still is busking at bugis, then at least some people must have found him talented enough to part their monies (or perhaps its simply to reward his effort, watever) -
too good to be trueOriginally posted by wuming78:talent is a perception.

Hehehe...since when have you actually stop walking pass that ang moh and seriously admired his talents?Originally posted by wuming78:talent is a perception.

I'm think that he has not talent....his recorder is almost completely out of tune. Felt like giving him a kick everytime I have to walk pass that area...whenever I forgot that he is still there. I think the people who actually parted with their money secretly hoped that he faster collect enough money and get his @ss out of sg/bugis and go back to his country to try his talented stunt over there.
Think he has poor business sense, should have picked a good location where people will die die have to walk pass him...especially MRT underpass. And can also no need to worry about the sun and the rain.
I might consider to call the police next time to catch fake performer like him.

the police wont be able to do anything if he actually has a busking license. u can only blame the persons giving him the license for having such lousy sense of art.Originally posted by parn:Hehehe...since when have you actually stop walking pass that ang moh and seriously admired his talents?
