Twanging Japanese

[Sentakki Fried Chicken]

A Japanese country and western street performer is making a name for himself Down Under.

[quote="article"].. He came to Australia in 2001 and settled here, marrying his Australian wife, Sarah, three years ago. He and Sarah had a traditional Japanese wedding back in his home town near Nagoya, where Kamikawa tried his hand at busking on Japanese streets.

"It was nothing like performing in Australia," he says. "It is very competitive in Japan, and you can get hassled a lot by the police and the yakuza (organised crime groups).

"People in Melbourne are very friendly and generous, they enjoy culture here. I love Melbourne, it is a very beautiful city and I feel welcome."

Working on the street has its challenges].. "And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?

And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?

And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!

And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!"..

And you may kick yourself
Why did I squat here?! :p

Is that some kind of euphemism for a "hick?"
