With your impeccable suits, awesome shoes, and solid standards, you made me happy every time I walked past you. You’re probably heading inside for the winter now, but I look forward to seeing you in the spring. Thanks for bringing back the sax!

Is this the Afro-Scotian fellow? If so, I agree that he looks super cool, but his sax-playing skills, according to people I know who are musicians, leaves a bit to be desired. He’s definitely got the image down pat though! The tourists all love taking pictures of him, too.
@qpmzwonxeibcruv: he has great tone and, yes, solid standards. Your friends are wrong. Listen for yourself, trust your ears.
OK, next time I’m there and I listen I’ll do just that… trust my ears, feel the music… got it! I’ll report back later.
I also enjoy his playing on the corner of SGR/South Park. His Carolina blue suit is my favourite by far.
Last time I saw him he was doing a very nice version of Rockin’ Robin.
I agree. Last weekend I was walking on spring garden road..a perfect fall day and hearing that sax made it that much better!
