Amazing sounds from the streets of Adelaide, South Australia

While on holiday in Australia, visiting our daughter in the beautiful town of Adelaide. We took a trip down town to the main shopping centre. As we were walking along we heard some rather different, but very pleasant music. We decided to take a closer look and there we saw Lindsay Buckland, a talented street performer. He was playing a rather unusual musical instrument called an Electric Dulcimer.
