Kate ,
Very brief segment. Was a busking contest test at Circular Quay in Sydney.
Rob was strumming a guitar( standard chord stuff) and "singing", just
strolling around. This young kid was doing the same but working the people
as only a kid with front can do. Rob hardly got any donations or audience it
seems. The kid gots lots as he had more presence( maybe that comes from
sitting behind drums half your life). Everyone thought he was cute, and
probably that Rob in his leather jacket and sunnys was a "dolebludger" -
Beth take note. Hence the quote re he was young enough to work.
It is a comedy program so no doubt a set up

So what exactly was it these guys were supposed to be doing?  What
instrument was Rob hacking away at?  Fill us in!  Fill us in!

p.s. My older son's best buddy was over at our house last winter.  His dad
is a professional Jazz and rock drummer, mostly session stuff.  My younger
son was spinning Fibromoon, as usual.  The boys were in the middle of a Yu
Gi Oh duel during Long Time Dead when Gus looks up with a puzzled look and
says something like "how come they let the drummer play the guitar?"
