Itâs not a pandemic-induced pre-Christmas mirage.
Itâs Ukulele Bill.
Bill (Bill Whiteley, as heâs known in his off hours) has been strumming his little four-stringed instrument on busy Newman Avenue for a rolling audience of motorists and passengers for months now.
âI have a love of music, and I wanted to stay in contact with the public. By playing out there I got a lot of fans,â Whiteley says. Thatâs not all he got.
He gained a Facebook page and a fan club (70 members and counting) whose participants had sweatshirts made â but most of all, the enjoyment he gets from the reactions of people driving by.
