Maximin Andre Pierre was arrested Sunday afternoon for soliciting donations while playing saxophone in Ybor City. Police said they warned him "several times" before arresting him for "vending in Ybor City without a permit."

We here in the Sticks are glad to hear all the real crime has been cleaned up.

I don’t know where you’re originally from but I’m betting it’s not Tampa. Your sensibilities are too much like my NY ones. I’m glad I stumbled upon this blog recently.

That’s just sad. I always give money to musicians I see playing.

Hey Patricia…

Born right here in Tampa at MacDill AFB Hospital. I’m glad you stumbled by too.

Aaron - you’re a great guy.
