Someone put together a show documenting all the street/subway musicians. I forget the whole background, but his story was pretty sad. Something about his wife dying of cancer, and not having any insurance. I'll try to dig up the name of the show. It was on at least a year ago.Zragnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-43161043468982118912011-09-28T16:23:42.183-04:002011-09-28T16:23:42.183-04:00i guess the lafayette and broadway station was too...i guess the lafayette and broadway station was too damn hot for him all those years and he moved to second avenue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-92058922975980597782011-09-28T15:58:16.505-04:002011-09-28T15:58:16.505-04:00Anonymous 1:50 again... glad to hear other people ...Anonymous 1:50 again... glad to hear other people are interested in the Flute Guy. we ought to go down to Zuccotti Park and protest the fact that he hasn't gotten his own "road trip" to Coney Island, or any all-nighter parties at the Mars Bar. a great social injustice if there ever was oneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-34344463894437933272011-09-28T15:56:13.794-04:002011-09-28T15:56:13.794-04:00@EV Grieve: Hot damn, another assignment!

He has no change cup, so he's not busking. I have always thought of him as The Last Hippie in the EV. Was he in a rock band 50 years ago? Burnt out Wall Streeter? Joan Collin's Ex-Husband?
