For centuries, Prague has been a center of art, and home to great composers. Dvorak, Chopin and Tchaikovsky performed their best works here.

Inspired by this musical heritage is Alexander Zoltan, who plays a less traditional instrument - the glass harp 1. His steady gig is on the Charles Bridge constructed in the mid-14th century and named for Emperor Charles IV. Alex is a busker or street perfomer. He has performed in Bulgaria, Romania and when he defected from Czechoslovakia in 1982, he performed on the streets of Barcelona. After immigrating 2 to Australia he soon burned out on street performing and found work with a company that imported crystal glass. Alex began collecting crystal wine glasses, 22 in all that make up his glass harp. And so Alex's music changed from the racket of a booming one-man band street performer to the delicate sounds produced by glass. But his success not only comes from his skills as a musician, he also can work a crowd.

I've forgotten about the most important part of my sound equipment. It's so-called "coin resonator".

To play music is easy you may learn it's, er, more or less trained monkey, but to learn how to, how to handle and have audience, how to handle interruptions in your favor, how to make the audience laugh and pay you is the hardest stuff but once you know it, the life is very easy. But it's tough, tough way of learning.

Alex has performed on television in Japan, Australia, the Czech Republic and Canada and on occasion still plays in concert halls. But his favourite stage is the street.

On the street it was much more entertaining and it's just through its street is city alive. Or once you are on the street it's like to know nature, the people are also nature. You recognise bad days, with sprinkle of policemen who was a big bouquet 3. It's, say like a brief journey in the desert, he can see things normal people don't see. I would say a good busker is the same.
