I like sax guy.
I also like bagpipe guy. And I miss recorder guy. So what if the quality varies, it's nice to have some background music.

The sax guy is busking, not begging. Busking is amazing, especially when the musicians are good. It provides entertainment.

I'm not sure what the sax guy has to do with beggars. He's playing for the money, which is qualitatively difference from sitting around begging. It doesn't seem to me that he's trying to fool anyone into thinking he's destitute, he's just playing music for money.

"If you wanna dance you have to pay the band" Handouts pay off for some. At my local Captain's meeting the attendees were told of the beggers at the old Charlotte Circle who are out there each and everyday with cups in hand...they own property here in J.C. and get spiffied up at the day's end. Who's foolin who ?

I love the saxaphoneplayer near Sawadee. His playing there is asign of spring/summer in JC. His playing is so melancholy and evocative. I miss it when he's not there. I think he is a JC icon.

Can someone PM me immediately if they see the saxophone guy? I'll walk over to him and give him some money and also a note of appreciation summarizing what we've been talking about here.
His saxophone playing is definitely a positive part of the community.

Support the artist?! its just some guy with a sax on the street! How about going to where actually musicians play in a venue?! oh wait Jersey City has almost none of those. Why not go down to NJCU and catch out their Jazz program? Some guy noodling on the street is not a musician.

I love the sax guy. It adds such a nice element to our community. I always try to drop at least a few dollars in his case - sometimes a $5 or $10 if I have it. If you enjoy the music, please support the artist!

Exactly! He used to play in the late afternoon/early evenings when I'd hear him. I used to always think, "this is too good to be true for it to last forever. He'll stop eventually." Well, that day has come I guess, and he's been reincarnated as the bagpipe guy. (sad face)

I see / hear saxophone guy occasionally down in Grove Plaza on weekday mornings. Such a great soundtrack for my commute, but I do miss his evening streetlight serenades. Like coming home to a Raymond Chandler novel.

So we change it up every now and then. Throw in some Boston, Kansas, Led Zepplin, Journey and we are good to go.

I love ACDC, but that would get tiring, too, eventually. I loved the saxophone because it was like ambient noise. Chill and just a step above the sounds of birds.

I hear him on Jersey Ave near Key Food. Sounds like he's strangling a cat.

Whatever happened to the saxophone player in Downtown JC? I'd hear him play through my open window in the afternoon, and I loved it! So relaxing.
Bagpipe guy -- not so much. It's like there's a funeral every day. Plus, he keeps messing up, so it's irritating. If you see this, Mr. Bagpipe Guy, please stop. Or take up the saxophone. Your neighbor, Parker
