When I play this here, I ain’t bragging on myself and I ain’t boasting, but to me, I think I’m a ten out of ten. When I go out on Canal and put my buckets over the grates, that sound goes underground for ten blocks and I got people walking miles to come hear where it coming from. I’m the sound of New Orleans. I’m telling you bro, I get funky on this here. But I thank God first, because this ain’t me, it’s the God in me that makes me play.

We my wife and I just got home from our first( but not last)trip to New Orleans. We found the sidewalk performers very entertaining and bought the book and read it on th eway home. Geprge was our fav. and we hope and pray that he cleans himself and gets back with his wife. We hope our next trip there we dont see him we want him to be with his wife. The outlook on life from the sidewalk crew is very enlighting and alot of what they say is true.
until next time
see ya
Ps loved the book

George! You are awesome, we loved meeting you on the sidewalk! We also love our nicknames that you gave us... Tell Clifton, thanks for the sweet potato fry. Keep doing what you do... You make New Orleans amazing.
