1. A hobo whimsy best expressed by a musical and lyrical genius that is legendary and rich with sly legerdemain. A Gypsy
talent.
2. A national treasure usually found roughing it among vagrant campfires, eating baked
beans, singing verses of box cars and Martha, playing harmonica that is kept in his coat'
s breast pocket on
cold nights.
3. A dancing set of bones--such as the Elephant Man--summoned up from the dead to take the listener on an eerie ride, i.e. the Gospel Train on Halloween.
