Coffee and Music

Had a very lazy morning and didn't feel like facing the same ol breakfast always on offer at our hotel.......juice, eggs and non palatable coffee or tea, so we strolled down to our favorite little restaurant called "Once Upon a time" and had something decent, along with plunger coffee.

As we sat sipping our coffee, we heard this incredible voice - sounded like Ben Harper.....I thought it was a CD..................

We turned around to see a guy just sitting by himself at one of the tables playing a small guitar and singing a few tunes ad-hoc. We listened for ages as it was so good and then on leaving the restaurant we said to him "great music - loved it". He picked up on our aussie accents and started up a conversation with us so we stayed and chatted longer. His name is "Kin" and he's from Perth...Fremantle. He has played a bit around Freo and was one of the performers at the Fairbridge Folk Festival. He does not make a living out of music, but from teaching English as a second language in other countries. I hope one day he becomes famous for his music as he certainly has the voice of an angel.
