Several years ago in the middle of a hot summer, I was working in the Loop in Chicago. It's rather common to pass by street musicians as you walk through the area. Some of them are quite good. Anyway, as I was meandering through crowded streets, I came across a guy playing a radio. He had a sign, a small bucket for cash, and a small radio. While this guy may not have had the musical expertise of his musician counterparts, he wasn't going to let that stop him. I had to give him credit for his innovation, guts, and determination.
A few years later, I was hurrying to a meeting downtown and I saw him again. This time, he had a tambourine and a radio. The grin on his face was priceless. In waving that tambourine around in an approximate synch with the radio, you could see that he felt that he felt good. I've seen a lot of musicians playing the sidewalks, but this guy stands out in my memory. When I think of him, I think of someone who did the best he could with what he had.
Kudos to Radio Guy.
