Saw this old chap in Paradise st today.
I felt sorry for him -he looked so bedraggled and frail ! The music he was playing was so feint you could hardly hear it !
He looked to me like he should have been in a comfy armchair somewhere - not hanging around the town.
It's a shame !

I took a photo of him a couple of weeks ago ,I've never seen him play as everytime I've gone past him he's standing over his case trying to get his violin out

Doesn't anyone ever help him?

Maybe Lindylou... He feels alive getting out and playing his violin to whoever wants to listen.. He at least had music in his soul, and a lovely violin to play... Frail, maybe... full of music....priceless.... Hope you gave him a few bob..

[lindylou]

yes I give him some of my change

[naked lilac]

He does look clean... Just a musical olde soul.. Love it...

Seen in Church St today, couldn`t play at Wimbledon so picked a "racket" in Lverpool, the 17th string was a bit flat though.

Hi Joe

Is that just a gag or does he actually get some sound out of it?

when Tony managed Hessy's on Stanley St...
Tony gave Jacko his 1st cut out guitar in Hessy's
.. and that was that.. he was off and away..!

He's trying to copy 'plink plink' - the famous cardboard guitar character.
