I found this "statue" in downtown Asheville. He remains completely motionless until you drop some money into his bucket. Then he plays a short song on his guitar for you. He was making almost as much money from tourists wanting to take a picture with him as he was from playing his guitar. Quirky Asheville on a Saturday afternoon - bring your camera!

Did you tip him and get a tune?
Pretty neat marketing ploy to differentiate himself from the other street musicians....must be a former mba ;)
