More of the photo negatives – these are various musicians on the streets of New York. If anyone can help identify any of the musicians in the photos below, I’d appreciate it. Please do not reproduce any of these without permission.

  1. Hi here,

    Is it you who have taken the Moondog’s photographe ?

    Because I work on a web-site about him, and I we be pleased to put your photos on my site, quoting who obviously, if you are okay.

    Thanks in advance,

    Regrads from France.

    Amaury.
