Blind Banjo Player
While traveling in Tibet through Gyantse I saw this Blind Busker playing his banjo outside a monastery. There was something about the way he played and sung that I found very alluring and haunting at the same time. I wish I knew what he was singing about.

UPDATE: I posted this video at youtube and a kind person posted the following comment on the words:
"It tells the story of a Free nation and freedom loving spirit. Well i will Say Save this peace loving nation. Free Tibet."

Dear, Nest time when you travel I can accompany you. I am originally from Pakistan now settled in the USA. You can visit Pakistan with me when I go this year in November or December. Ben
I use a Canon GL1 which is a decent 3 chip camera. Kind of a pain to carry around but it is worth it.
I have done a fair amount of traveling and Tibet has always been high on my list. If you are interested in going first thing to do is go to a book store and check out a guidebook on Tibet.
PS - thanks for the linking info
