As I tried to define the role of the special librarian for these proceedings, I
recalled an experience that happened during a recent visit to London. We
were walking through the tunnel under Oxford Street to Hyde Park at
Marble Arch. As we emerged into the daylight we heard a terrible din, and
we saw a busker shuffling along the path with instruments hanging all
over him. Cymbals were between his knees, a drum on his back, a harmonica
on a wire frame on his chest, and more besides ! He was a one-man band.
He was the whole show. The sweat was dripping off him, and he was doing
his best under his heavy burden and the warm afternoon sun.
