Abaco Queen in Boston Harbor -1957

He was an occasional neighbor; and a delightful man and I never once saw him bring out the guitar just for "the fun of it."

But I'm almost certain he was a card carrying American Federation of Musicians member because he played Bahamian venues on occasion and the Bahamas were functionally the same as upscale New York or Vegas nightclubs and ballrooms.

Both vocalists and instrumentalists are considered musicians when they're at work.
