I love this guy. He plays in Times Square and is totally into his synthesizer. I can watch him for hours. One day I will ask whether he was a professor and if yes, of what (music? philosophy? both?). If only I could retire by performing in a subway station with a keyboard and dancing dolls. . .
Thanks to the update left in the comments, you can watch him in action and find out what type of professor he was/is.
According to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y95joZiZSuc
Prof . Edward Alvarado. Graduated in the Music Conservatory of Viena-Austria .Ex-Director of the Symphony Orchestra in Guayaquil-Ecuador.

I often see him in Penn Station in the morning. He also uses a Vox amp which is cool.
