Street drummer, Sixth Street, Austin, SXSW, March 14, 2012

When I walked back to downtown Austin on 6th, I noticed that the R & B group with the really cold drummer was still playing on the street where I had seen them before walking to East Austin for the New Orleans bounce event. The street was filled with people from one end to the other. #SXSW

This R & B group was performing at the far east end of Sixth Street near the interstate, but what really impressed me was the funky drummer who was the foundation of the group. #SXSW
