We finally gave in and escorted them outside, where there was already a crowd of adoring fans surrounding the performer. Our charges got right up there in front and plopped down on the pavement to hear performer Kim Gill's excellent renditions of classic children's songs and rockin' bluesy covers. There was a fast number where everyone was jumping and boogie-ing around, which we unfortunately didn't capture on our cameraphone.

Gill said he visits Duboce Park once or twice a week, so keep an eye out for him! He also does guitar lessons and encouraged us to post his phone number for parents of aspiring rock stars to give him a call: 415.621.5794.
