A wandering minstrel for the 21st century.

The doorbell rings. You're in the middle of cooking the dinner, helping at the kids with their homework and you've had a hard day at the office. You answer the door still clenching the Sabatier that you were using to slice the tomatoes for the salad. There is a stranger standing there with a guitar on his back and a bag on his shoulder. He introduces himself as a wandering minstrel and if you let him tells you that he is writing his own songs and promoting his own CD from which he would be delighted to sing you a random track....
....... ON YOUR DOORSTEP.

At first you are a bit taken aback but quickly recover your composure and say that you'd love to hear a song and you call the children so that they can share the experience.
You are a rare human being.

Sean O'Neill is too, certainly inasmuch as since January 2000, Sean formerly a highly respected photographer, has work five days a week as Ireland's wandering minstrel, selling enough copies of his debut CD, "Losers and Sinners" to earn a wage and finance his writing and was described by Hot-Press journalist, Stuart Clarke as a "one man music industry", indeed Stuart reckons that Sean could well have reached the lower end of the charts had his sales been monitored.
