Boardwalk Buskers: Roy on Steel Guitar
Friday 15 August 2008
The boardwalk of Ocean City, MD is home to many musicians who play to entertain the roving crowds of tourists. The boardwalk is 2.5 miles in length so it offers plenty of space for street performers. On this day alone, I met five performers, all of which were very friendly and entertaining.
Roy plays a steel resonator guitar which has a great sound, especially when complimented with Roy’s raspy voice. He was a little leery of me and putting a camera in his face but we talked for a while after I was done shooting and he’s a really nice guy. He’s been playing the guitar since the 70’s and has been on the boardwalk for the last ten years.
