Nine Years as “The Accordion Guy”

Here’s a blast from the past: me with purple hair, rockin’ out at Queen’s Park on Saturday May 1st, 1999:


I had no idea what was coming up next.

Yesterday marked the 9th anniversary of my playing the accordion on the street for the first time. I’ve got a longer entry about that fateful Saturday, when my friend Karl Mohr and I took our accordions out on the street that morning and ended the day as goth rock stars, and I’ll post it this weekend.
