Without Home But Not Without Soul

Last week I was walking around the great city of Boston when I was approached by a homeless man for a few dollars.
Now this is not an unusual event for anyone wandering the city, especially at night, but this particular vagrant was out of the ordinary.
"I'm the best dressed homeless man you'll ever meet," he told me, and I soon found out why. "I don't beg for money like these other guys," he said, "But Ill sing for you if you give me a few bucks."
I had to oblige.
This is The Singer, as he calls himself, though the kids playing music with him fondly refer to him as "Uncle Ricky."




Here and here are links to videos on YouTube where Uncle Rick had debuted.
He's got some surprising coverage on the web, and it seems The Singer is a growing celeb of the Boston street scene.
