Dancing Dolls

Penn Station has musicians that set up shop during commuting hours to make some cash and entertain the 10 people that aren't wearing ipods. They are all a little bit off. Some are actually talented, most are just strange, however there is one that stands out as particularly disturbing.

He works the morning commute. He plays the keyboard and I guess you would describe him as a hunchback....basically, his whole body sits up straight but his neck is bent at a 90 degree angle which causes him to stare directly down at his lap. This is not funny, in fact, I imagine that it is quite uncomfortable. He plays his songs by heart since he can't actually look at the keyboard, so I guess he knows what he's doing. Beyond the fact that he sets his keyboard to the organ setting, I don't have a problem with the actual music that he is playing. My big issue with this guy is his tiny dancing dolls. Right. I guess his mentality is that, since he cannot dance and play the keyboard at the same time, these tiny dolls can do the job for him. He sets them up on the ground in front of his keyboard and they shake their hips. They are about a foot tall....one is a blonde.
