Today was the monthly street market and concert at the Palace. The band (as in marching) music at the Palace is not very good. But, there are always 3 or 4 pretty good bands (as in old time rock and roll or Hawaiian) playing on the street. One of the best groups has a space right next to our hotel deck.
The distinguished gentleman on the right is “Fred”. He is one of the homeless oldtimers. He has been around for at least 15 years. He still looks the same. No one knows much about him. The more “normal” homeless folk call him “Fred” and firmly believe that he is one of Fred MacMurray’s sons. They say he gets a monthly check from his trust fund which keeps him in Starbucks and tobacco cigarettes.
