Got ‘em out here in Golden, CO also. Its really funny when they trade off who is playing. And then watching people stop to give them money. JFC.

And maybe they are really playing. If someone didn't know better they would think Leroy Troy was pretending to play. He is just really good with his left hand doing hammer-ons and pull-offs.

Fast forward to 40 seconds.

Well, saw the ones by the Ankeny Target for the first time

For being "struggling" they've got a pretty sweet sound system

Yeah. I saw one and thought, huh, that's an awfully new looking 2kw Honda suitcase generator you've got there. Those aren't exactly cheap...

Would you be willing to make an exception?

Love AC/DC and bagpipes!

I hadn't seen or heard of this until this thread. Now I have seen several around town. Weird. These must be guys from CF.

I saw a video in a facebook group of someone playing a violin in Ames. I'm a trained violinist so it seemed pretty obvious to me that it was fake

Saw the violin guy at the Altoona target a couple weeks ago. Then a couple days later I was at the east Ames Hyvee and noticed a *different* guy with the exact same sign - same Venmo account and everything - and realized it was an organized scam
