I've been looking for street musicians, there's one over by the bank, oh, right!the ATM...he's playing knocking on heaven's door. i hear a sound, itcan't be drums, because they're outlawed in downtown, except for thefront of Lithia Park on alternating tuesdays and fridays between 4 and 6pm...or is it non-alternating wednesdays and sundays 'tween 5 and 7?even the drummers can't remember, and they're known for keeping track.oh! it wasn't a drummer, and it wasn't somebody playing the spoons!just a…See More
