Uh-oh, let's hope he has a permit

300 block of downtown Racine:



I put a buck in his instrument case.

    Check out this link people.

    Simanek (The judge presiding over the Becker case) is NOT seeking re-election.

    This sounds dirty and scummy already.

    I told you i thought Becker had/has a deal in place already.

    VERY sickening.

    I love saxophone, he's good. I hope he doesn't' get in trouble. Music makes the world a better place.

    He was playing "On a Clear Day" from the sheet music in his saxophone case. He said he didn't know it too well.

    Concerned Citizen, yeah, the fix is in. I assume just about everyone knows that by now. Cronies don't do time in Racine.

    However, on the positive side, our downtown is beautiful.

    Interesting, CC, that the Journal Times is not posting a link to that story on their main page, less than 90 minutes after they posted the story. One comment regarding the Becker trial and they took it off the main page. Looks like both of the main news sources in town are going along with City Hall and the sham. "Journalism" as usual in Racine, protecting us from the truth.

    Reminds me of the harp player I saw in Laguana Beach. She jammed!

    Here's a picture of a street musician I took in Chicago a few years ago. I used it as a Christmas card. That's his seeing-eye dog at lower right: http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn6/orbscorbs/scan.jpg

    I haven't been downtown Racine in about 6 years. What is that little square thing behind him?

    I was driving by as he was playing. I hope he made enough money to do it again.

    Toad, I think they call that a kiosk. Behind the glass panes are maps of downtown, announcements of events, etc. At least I think that's what it is . There are a couple of other ones downtown, too.

    The guy has been playing in different spots downtown each day. (I drive through almost daily.)
