Louis Thomas Hardin aka Moondog (May 26, 1916 - September 8, 1999) was a blind musician who would stand on the corner of 6th Avenue/52nd street in New York wearing a Viking outfit. He would compose music based on the street sounds he heard. Most pedestrians gave him a wide berth but my Dad and I stopped and talked to him whenever we saw him. He had musical instruments we'd never seen before and also sold poetry. The world is full of interesting humans.
