SCAN DE JOUR:
This is a guy I used to see a lot right downtown in the towers. He would strum his guitar and sing Hank Williams songs. His guitar case always seemed to have money it in. One day I stopped and asked if I could take his picture. He just nodded and kept on singing. After I took the picture I gave him a joint. He smiled and stuffed it into his coat pocket, and said, I’ll save this for after dinner. One day, about a year later I rode by his spot and he was no longer there.

Just say Hi
