Sitting on the bare grounds against a store front that hadn’t yet opened Luis sang! His voice carried tune as far as the sound traveled from him. It was almost blues with a hint of military cadence. Luis said he sings because it’s what keeps his spirits up. During our conversation a lady came up and prayed with him in Italian. After their prayers we finished chatting not before he told me that while in the Army he worked as a 42r which he told was a band musician. He laughed and told me that he knew he would never make it to Broadway or Hollywood, so he does his best to keep the Jersey streets entertained
