How can I forget Carlos Guitarlos?
During my time on the west coast he was a legendary SF street performer who used to always ask us to stop by his corner with a tape recorder "with working batteries" so he could get his next break. He also gave one of my bands pretty good feedback after a gig at (the now defunct?) Doc Bombays - claiming that besides the blues "he could play that modal stuff too."
He'd had a few good gigs in the 80s, most notably with Tom Waits, and it seems his career is on the up and up again. Here's a TV performance from 1985
Thanks to ddodgeh at TGP for the suggestion.
