It may be a country ballad, blues, classic or contemporary rock and roll, but whose voice is it?
The singer is performer Michael Downie.
For the past 15 years Michael has been playing solo after a successful career performing as a front man with bands at the big clubs in Sydney.
Michael mostly performed in cabaret shows and has featured alongside many Australian acts including Ita Buttrose, Little Pattie, Johnny Pace and regularly appeared in front of the TV cameras on the Ray Martin midday show.
But, when he finally picked up the guitar he found he liked performing solo.
"I just love it, I'd hate not to do it," he said.
"But, I don't write anything. I'm not clever enough to do that. I just revamp things."
The Bawley Point singer is also a volunteer with the local Red Cross. He visits people like round-the-world sailor Peter Barnes, who lives at IRT Sarah Claydon, once a week.
He had started doing a bit of community work at Coastal Waters near Vincentia when a friend asked if he would like to volunteer.
"So that's all tying in with the same sort of thing, you know, visiting people and doing a bit of music."
Michael performs at some of the local clubs like many other artists in the district, but, busking was something new he has tried over the past few months. He's found himself talking with elderly shoppers passing by, who are sometimes on their own.
"I just find this really good because a lot of people just like to hear things from the past," he said.
"Quite often they're on their own and if there's someone there that'll have a chat, that's what they do."
There are some songs he admits that will get "a few dollars" in his case, but it's mostly about playing music from another era.
It's not as if people want to hear Vera Lynn or Benny Goodman from the war-time eras, many are around Elvis' age - who'd be 84 if he was still alive.
"I think that there's a few people around in that era and when I do that, it will just click and they will know it, they acknowledge it anyhow."
