busker of eden place
hi there bobs ,
i do recall this old chap in eden passage ,but i cannot recall his name and his little dog and the marvellous pictures he done every day for a decade , the public did appreciate his drawing and his cap was full of pennies
mind you even thou you called him a busker ,i don,t think that was right
i was told by my mother that he waspartialy blind , or completely blind
and i know he was there in the late forties until the late fifties i seem to re call i did,nt know of anybody else around in them days , still .
one of our good researchers will come up trumps with the answers you want .
i cannot recall the year it was ,but he was published in the sunday mercury
one sunday ,in fact there could have been two tpoics on him
one showing his talent ,and another time the relatatives of him
brought him back to memory and telling us his name in later years
i think around the years of 1957 when he was first mentioned in the mercury
then in the early sixties a relative mentioned abot him and giving his name
i,m pretty sure some-one will fill you in on the rest
have a nice day astonian
