My Favorite Oxford Street Musicians

My favorite street musicians in Oxford


Please don't judge by the very blurry video that I found on youtube, this group is absolutely awesome. They have an old Italian Godfather-esque sound from the accordion mixed with jazzy New Orleans upbeat trumpet. I haven't talked to them at all but it seems as though its a dad and two brothers along with a few other family members. Katie typically has to drag me down Cornmarket Street to get me away from standing directly in front of them and tossing pounds into their open saxophone case. This is one of my favorite parts of Oxford, walking down Cornmarket with open ears. Today while enjoying my new favorite activity, sitting in the bookstore reading an unpurchased book, the theme of  "The Godfather" drifted into the coffee shop. One of those surreal feelings of living life accompanied by a soundtrack.
