It is a regular scene – chess players competing against one another for fun. Seated along various parts of Market Street this is a part of the daily city life. So much so that the chess boards are taped permanently to the tables so that they could be set up or tucked away very fast.

Jacob usually plays the keyboard in and around the Westfield Mall on Market. A veteran, he is widely traveled and plays a lot of wind and pipe music. An unfortunate turn of events caused him to go through gum surgery and that quite disabled him from playing the saxophone and the trumpet.

Mickey Bridges did not spare attention to the last details – both in his music as well as his showmanship.
