Buskers of San Francisco: Cordell

If you wander around Bay Area cities, you know that street musicians are a dynamic part of the soundscape.

Lance Gardner spent some time meeting many of San Francisco's buskers, and he produced a series of profiles.

In this one, we meet Cordell, a bassist at the Powell street cable car turnaround.

"I used to play in bands but it was a big headache. So now I play solo, I'm an independent. I'm a gun for hire . . . I can depend on myself. I get paid for practicing."
