The tinwhistler

There is a guy here in town who plays the tinwhistle. He plays it all day long in various parts of town with his hat on the ground in front of him.

I have long been curious about the guy because he plays several hours a day every day and he is just awful. Yesterday I saw him playing in front of a building where there was construction work going on. The workers were operating power tools, including a stone saw, that were so loud that not only could we not hear him, the guy couldn't hear himself play. And yet there he was with his hat and people putting money in it.
