You Never Know Where You Will Find Talent

I always like to take pictures of people when I travel. Their faces are really the personality of the culture.  I like taking pictures of the local people of all ages.  Very often I get some really excellent shots of elderly people.  One of the many musicians in this famous Marrakech fast paced spot was this older man entertaining passers by with his drum solo.  He didn't exactly perform like Ringo Starr but it was interesting to say the least.

When visiting this famous square in Marrakech, you are expected to give some tips to the performers. In Morocco, the average annual income is only about $2,500 per year and there is quite a bit of unemployment.  Poverty is one of the biggest problems in the world today and a primary cause of world problems.  It is actually a tenant of Islam to give part of your income to the poor.

A Jewish comedian and philosopher named Sam Levenson related about his family "That we gave to the poor regularly.  It made us feel rich."  We are all pretty much the same.  It is the world leaders that have so much trouble.  People are people the world over.

Djemaa El Fna is perhaps the greatest tourist attraction in all of Morocco. This famous square is located in the city of Marrakech, and there is a lot of things going on, all at once.  It is a happening place with acrobats, snake charmers, fire eaters, musicians and many other unusual activities. I met this gentlemen who certainly lived life to his own beat.
