I met Dusty Rhodes walking home on Memorial Day, 2012 through Washington Square Park. Dusty was getting ready to do what he does every day. Dusty, an amazingly talented street musician full of life, love, passion and the truest spirit of what makes New York City what it is- a place for freedom of expression and self actualization. That of course, is only possible if you can walk through the challenges that only the city will provide you daily.
Meet Dusty. Get to know his voice, his soul, his spirit, his passion and love of jazz, music and life.
