From the 1940s until the mid-1970s, a blind Manhattan street musician nicknamed “Moondog” used to stand on Sixth Avenue and 53rd Street, dressed like a Viking. At a time when outré characters were all over the city, he just seemed like one more eccentric. But Moondog (real name: Louis Thomas Hardin) also happened to be an acclaimed classical composer. Filmmaker Holly Elson is hoping to make a documentary about the late musician, who passed away in 1999, and this is the very earliest piece of it. (Thanks Documentarian.)
