The Mocking Birds
30-Jun-2008
British guys singing on the sidewalk on Castro Street trying to make a buck on Gay Pride parade day in San Francisco yesterday. I asked one of them what's the name of their band. He said "Mocking Birds". I think he was mocking me :o)
I recorded a couple of other songs they did. They were really fun sing-alongs. to me, that's music... there should be a melody, there should be something you can sing-along to, some rhythm...
They had a hat in front of them for donations. I only had a 20 dollar bill. I asked one of them to take it and give me back $15 in change. He thanked me and dug into the hat for change. He started counting and gave me some crumpled bills and I just stuffed them into my pocket.
On the way back home I stopped at Safeway to buy some groceries. When I reached into my pocket to pay, I took out the ball of bills and straightened them out. There were three $5 bills and five singles. Poor guy had given me back $20 in change by mistake :o) Oh well... I hope by sharing their good music with the public I have given them some exposure, if not a slice of pizza.

Mockingbirds...
by Azarin Sadegh on Mon Jun 30, 2008 01:48 PM PDTI found it on Google:
"Mockingbirds are best known for the habit of some species mimicking the songs of other birds, often loudly and in rapid succession"
You might be able to donate your $5 to public radio kusc, to keep the music alive...:-)

PS: There are writers on iranian.com who should be of the same specie...
