Update: San Francisco Street Artists (0507-001) on Photoduniya.com
 
I have written about Craig and his Three Maestros before.

As the Saturday night drew to a close, and the bystanders had a fair share of the music from the band Experience This, here is the group packing up before calling it a night.
