Moondog link

Ok this one is a bit of a stretch from town, butttttttttttt

Do any of you remember Moondog? I remember him as a young child. He used to live up on the mountain in a cave. He would come downtown to catch a bus with his "wife" to NYC to perform. My dad used to take me up there. Several years ago my Mom and I went up there looking for traces of the cave. I knocked on a door figuring these folks are going to think I'm nuts, but I'll ask anyway. I said "Have you ever heard of a man named Moondog who lived up her in a cave?" The woman looked at me and said YES. ;)) I was delighted. But anyway they were relative newcomers to the area but had heard of him. Mom and I got out of the car looking at the land nearby but acrossed the street. We did find something that could have been a cave to the underground, but had since been filled in. So goes the legend of Moondog. I wondered if he may actually have been a Native American. Recently I've read the Minsi's lived in caves....... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm the mystery goes on.....
