Absolutely. It's a kind of disbelief at first, followed by an almost involuntary laughter/cheering/applause - a bit like someone doing truly unbelievable acrobatics or juggling. It was one of those moments when you marvel at the talent and ingenuity of some people... what the festival is all about for me. He really did have the crowd, and to do that when it was a bunch of passers by takes some doing. I got his CD, mainly to support him (it was only a fiver) and because I genuinely liked his compositions, but it won't have the wow factor of actually seeing the man live.

Before you criticise a man, walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you do - you'll be a mile away. And have his shoes.
Wavy grooves go thru a RigB 540ML on an SL1500C. Digits stream from a cheapie CDP and a Sonos, into a Yamaha 803D driving Kralk Audio little 'uns. I used to have a Linn but I'm better now.
