He is one of the sweetest and kindest guys out there but his version of Yellow Submarine, often heard in front of Thorne's Market, is exactly the same song as his take on Bob Seger's "Turn The Page"....or anything else he plays.

It is beautiful in an outsider art way, and yet he breaks my stride and triggers my heart murmur and my fillings hurt and sometimes I feel a vein twitch on my forehead. |

But if you can't help being trashy, there's a sexuality section filled with intriguing titles including this spread from "The Art of Eric Stanton: For The Man Who Knows His Place." |
The Silver Lady (by Suzanne Vega 1974- when she was 14) Younger than nine or ten I once spoke to the Silver Lady But I never saw her again. To me she flew out of the sky She was born riding on the water Her hair blew all around her She was the crazy man's only daughter. (Lyrics continued here) |

As someone who walks around Northampton daily, I have to say your description of the busker is amazingly accurate! Liking the Basement porch pics too; there was an old industrial stove or something on there for a long time.
love that place, but it sure could use a face lift!
