At Národní is playing already for many years one of the few street musicians in Praha, a blid man with a dog. He is standing always in front of the same shop, but the companies are comming and going, depending on their accummulated capital. Not everybody can afford to pay the expensive rent on such location as Národní. Nowdays it is a mobile net provider. The Accordeonist is saying quickly “thanks”, each time somebody puts a coin in his special suitcase, which is tightened with chain to his leg.
