ALLEN FREDRICK - SINGER

I spent the 2016 Thanksgiving weekend in San Francisco get away. I stayed at the Holiday Inn which was about two blocks from Fisherman's Wharf and that was very ideal since I just wanted to walk around and play tourist. I have been and had seen this tourist destination many many times but more on a professional basis so my attention was more on work such as photographing various interest for a client. Today was all different since as I mentioned, today I was a tourist. I brought my walking camera, a Canon G15 and taking pictures of things that a tourist does. On the photographs below you will see some of what the location offer such as a good crab sandwich and tomato soup that is superb and other theatrical elements that Fisherman's Wharf offers.

But what a caught my eye or maybe to be appropriate, what caught my ear is hearing a street performer singing Beach Boys songs, hey this was my era. Anyway, I went closer and sat down on a bench and watch and listen to this guy belt out a variety of selection from my time and pretty soon it felt like I was in a concert in the park. So being a tourist I took bout my camera and started snapping pictures of the singer, the surroundings, event a man hitting the bottle drinking from a bottle inside his jacket. I saw people participated by freely dancing to the music and singing with him. I travelled back to my a time that was a big part of me and I was enjoying it again.

I had to meet this singer so I approach the man to find out what his name was and I ended up buying three of his CD's that had his name on. ALLEN FREDRICK that is his name and if you want to know more about this concert artist in the park go to his website: http://allenfredrick.com and check him out.
So, when you go to San Francisco, I strongly suggest that you go to the Fisherman's Wharf and sit down and enjoy his music that just blends to the ambience of the area which just a great place to relax.

Please check out the pictures and the video of Allen Fredrick actual performance. Your comments will be highly appreciated.

So until our next featured artist, be safe and keep SMILIN........
