ATTENTION SCAMMERS:

Last big edit!

If you like honky tonk violin playing and folk punk BS, and if you aren't a ninny, go like my freaking band page my dudes.

Don't like it if you're a snowflake because I always tell the truth, and the Truth Hurts, thanks Lizzo!

Gypsum & the Travelers

HAWOOT.

SECOND BIG EDIT:

If y'all want to give him your money, go ahead. Since y'all are up my butt about destroying his income. He messaged me after the conversation, his name on Facebook is:

Kevin Gheorghe

Go make his day and donate to his cause. Somebody start a damn GoFundMe.

BIG EDIT:

This was not about a damn personal mission about internet fame. Y'all are dumb. I had some friends scammed, decided to do something about it, then I decided to share that with them.

I do not give 2 freaks about internet fame, y'all be stressing me out.

I would be cussing ALL OF YALL out, but I'm trying to keep it PG, practicing my breathing and such.

If this was about some kind of personal fame, I would've taken the damn interview they offered me at the dumb news station. Which I may still take because I'm trying to show you idiots how to not get scammed!

This was about protecting my community for some dumb scam artist.

BY THE WAY! A violin "fight" is not physical, you IDIOTS!

DO SOME FREAKING RESEARCH!

ITS CALLED A VIOLIN DUEL FOR CHRIST'S SAKE.

Original freaking post:

If you are going to try to scam ETX, you will be stopped.

If you pretend like you can play violin, you BEST BET I will come fight you, violin style.

Shout out to my friends in the Broadway Market Center for letting me know that this guy was back!
Not asking about panhandling...but "faking" the violin. She states it's not victimless. That fake playing steals from actual violin players. Thoughts?

Meh.

(a) He's a scammer.

(b) There's more newsworthy shit to be outraged about than a guy scamming coins from people too dumb to realize he's playing a recording.

TDLR; meh.

And in all fairness, people often pay good money to go see "artists" pretend to sing or play their music, so, unless she's got an issue with that she should take her violin victimhood and shove it right up her ayyyso

violin players are among the most oppressed and discriminated against in western society. Its a real travesty and a reflection on what we have become.

I wonder what this bitch thought about the halftime show by Shakira and J-Lo

I also heard the Anthom was lip synced by Demi Lovato.

To learn to play the violin takes a long time, it's one of the more difficult things to pick up, classical, or otherwise.

As for mentioning the halftime show, other artist that "fake" like some artist do, at least it is their own recording. We didn't like it when Milli Vanilli did it because it was not them pre-recording their own stuff, but an entirely different band. I think it was Jessica Simpson sister, Ashley who ended her career by trying to pull it off during a SNL of all shows.

Add to it that you ask money for it, for something you don't do. Yeah, call that bitch out, learn how to play. It's like selling paintings you didn't paint as your own. Or stealing memes... if that's a better example these days.

What sucks the most is that Fiddlers and Viola players have been caught trying to cash in on the recent awareness to violin player discrimination, as if its all the same shit and they can cry victim too now and reap the benefits. I heard even some cello players are jumping on the victim bandwagon ffs but I don't see how they will get far as its clearly ridiculous. It just sours the truth of the issue for everyone imo.

I have never seen someone playing a violin on the street for money. I'm fairly sure that's not very common, so the fact this guy decided to try to hustle and got immediately called out is pretty funny to me.

I can see her gripe. She's not in the wrong.

I bet he had his own camera set up somewhere and is a comedy youtuber and wrote up this prank idea for lulz to see how fast he could catch an oppressed violinist on camera getting triggered

Would be a good experiment, fake like 10 different instruments and see which one causes the most butthurt

I bet violinists still win. They have been through a LOT.

unless there's a poor violinist out there who can't get work in the Ross Dress-For-Less parking lot, I fail to see the victim.

he's providing music and a show. Let the guy work, or set up shop on the other side of the parking lot and run him out of business.

this is like all the people getting worked up about illegal immigrants mowing yards - where's the backlog of unemployed landscapers?

Cause a decent violin cost over 5 grand, and that is really pushing it. A professional will spend tens of thousands if not more. Hardly an individual that would need to hustle on the streets, with that kind of money.

Cause the illegal immigrant is actually mowing the lawn, and not pretending to.

Pretending to provide music. Otherwise he'd use a boombox. If that not his recording, and I say if, he's using somebody elses music disquised as providing music.
If he'd play air violon, or guitar, or whatever, he'd provide at least a more truthful performance. He's a con artist.

The owner of the performance? There are laws for public broadcasting for a reason. Try and watch ufc on the street and put down your hat, see what happens.

If it's his own work, then oh well. He risks getting caught.
