If you've been following the Xpress-produced Busk Break field-recording series, it should hardly be surprising that our local streetcorner performers tend to make for great video content. But it looks like there's a new player in that audiovisual game. halfaspieguy recently started uploading videos of local buskers.
Here's one of his many videos of Leeda "Lyric" Jones and band covering Michael Jackson's "Black or White" on one of their busking outings.

I created the youtube channel to do some clips about living with Asperger's. (I call my strain of ASD Halfasperger's thus the name Halfaspieguy) When I get up the nerve to point the camera at myself I'll start posting those.
