Back in the 70's I met a guy at a party who panhandled his way around the country. He liked it. I asked how much he made panhandling and he said so far this year, about $30,000. That was about twice what I was making at the time.Mr. Charlestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17497415823443875308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1188113786271039111.post-26235090470550794822010-09-13T15:40:13.975-07:002010-09-13T15:40:13.975-07:00Barnes- Thanks!

But he brought a very distinctive personal presence to the screen, and occasionally there were directors who had the sense to utilise that persona to good effect.Flintharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17456024642528783549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1188113786271039111.post-73734741008740812892010-09-12T16:14:30.846-07:002010-09-12T16:14:30.846-07:00Great pictures and a great story.
