I'm pretty sure he stopped fluting (those same 8 notes he knows) for a few minutes to rant to me about politics while I was waiting to cross the street one morning. He had a Quebec accent. I can't remember what his beef was.

The other week I saw a guy do a backflip in honour of a Lamborghini he liked parked on the street. Yelled " Sweet car, dude!" and jumped. I was impressed.

It was on 17th, but that's "downtown' by my definition. All part of what Jane Jacobs called the "sidewalk ballet". Never boring - and why I like urban life.

Yeah it was the same tune over and over. That part I can do without.
