We my wife and I just got home from our first( but not last)trip to New Orleans. We found the sidewalk performers very entertaining and bought the book and read it on th eway home. Geprge was our fav. and we hope and pray that he cleans himself and gets back with his wife. We hope our next trip there we dont see him we want him to be with his wife. The outlook on life from the sidewalk crew is very enlighting and alot of what they say is true.
until next time
see ya
Ps loved the book

First night I really met Showtime he greeted me very kindly. Being a bucket performer myself he kindly told me i could post up in bhis spot real quick. Shortly after he decided to set up with me and so me and him would be in ca-hoots sort of speak. Man we jammed till there was no more jammin' in the jar, you dig? Im gonna learn as much as i can from this man as i can while hes on this earth.
