When the truth gets buried deep
Beneath the thousand years of sleep
Time demands a turn-around
And once again the truth is found
Awakening the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Who comes singing songs of love.
~ Donovan
If you happen to be passing through the Public Garden in Boston on a nice day, chances are you will come across The Hurdy Gurdy Man (Donald Heller) and his trusty dog, Mack (Mackie), singing songs of love…among other subjects!


What a lovely street shot Stacy, you’ve captured the interaction so well! π
