You have to wonder how people can just walk past and not be touched by the skill and talent of this guy.

[tonal]

I dunno. Maybe it's me, but whenever I hear good sidewalk performers playing, I'm immediately transfixed. This is beautiful. In daily lives that can be so unforgiving, take a moment and listen! I don't understand why so many people keep walking. You would be a better person if you stopped to smell this flower of music.

What absolutely blows my mind is how all of these vacant souls can just walk flippantly by as if they can’t be bothered while this truly gifted man absolutely pours his heart out on the guitar in the rain. Oh well, it’s their loss not mine nor his. Thank you Mark!

Music is a triangle……the performer……the music……the listener.
When all three are connected, then you have perfection.

[brendanconway]

It shows in his face how much this gent loves playing his guitar

[MartinaBrigitteZimmer-Heil]

Mein Lieblings Lied mit 4 Jahren😊❤👍und immer noch so schön😊

[leehenderson]

Some people unfortunately aren't moved by music.And i was glad this man treated Cavatina with respect. ❤

This man shouldn’t be in the street..but on stage..and not starving....sad for such great talent I wish him all the best and keep safe and strong to go trough all that situation..I expect one person will take him and give him a chance to go on stage and make concerts..

Were I there, I would stop still and become transfixed, not only by the sheer beauty of this arrangement, but by the tone of the guitar, and this remarkable guitarist's ability to convey, by virtue of his outstanding playing, such stirring emotions. How can some (not all) people walk on by, seemingly dismissive of this man's talents--as if it's totally cool to show no emotion?

I have listened to many musicians playing this piece on classic guitars, and in concerts on electric guitars, with all those big bafflers, synthesizers, amplifiers, and all the stuff, this is the best. He put his heart in that piece. Thank you sir.

[finisterrae]

For heaven’s sake. What is wrong with people ? Completely ignoring this amazing artist and walking by. It’ sad. For thém.

[pikefisherman]

I find it hard to believe that people can walk past and show ZERO emotion to this beautiful piece of music.

[MosriteCharlie]

Too talented to be playing on the street. Nicely done my friend.

Buena versión Amigo!!!
Realmente muy Creativa y Agradable!!!
Nunca dejes de tocar; es la única puerta a esa Dimensión que pocos Comprenden!!!

[Sam-oxw]

Few months back, I listened to him playing this piece. Since then I listened to many other excellent guitar players playing it, but I keep coming back to him.

[Gez]

So much emotion. Love this Mark. Thank you :)

[raycollins]

What an absolutely lovely man, and playing from his heart. I wish I was there to sit in front of him to feel what he's feeling.

[josemolina]

Man pouring his heart out………passersby don’t even glance at him……sad. For me personally, this is the most beautiful version of this wonderful piece of music that I’ve ever heard. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🕊️🙏🏼🎼🎵🎶🎸🎶🎵🎼

[duffermod]

How can people walk by and not see and hear passion at it's best . I'm lost for more words .

[josemolina]

Love it!!! One of the best versions of this song that I’ve ever heard! This man has unmatched feeling! He should be recorded and promoted. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🎼🎶🎵🎸🙏🏼
