Pullman is a section of Chicago on the far south side where the old Pullman sleeper cars were built for the railroads. There are tons of historical sites there. This huge organ is the focal point of this gathering as played by LUTHER GETTE (better knoiwn as LUTHER THE JET) former hobo king who officially dubbed me as "The Prince Of Peru" for my hobo name. A bunch of musical moder-day hobos will be doing the music of these folks---old and new---. I figure Larry Penn will be there as well as Guitar Whitey and Banjo Fred Starner and Gypsy Moon and a slew of others --- like the hobo poet Buzz Potter. Luther The Jet's songs are some of my favorites. (An aside: Luther Gette is the only hobo king with a PHD in French literature.)

If you love the romance of the rails, you will really enjoy these folks.
