Origins
(caution: Sappy Dad Alert. Don't say you weren't warned)
Jonathan and I have a history of street performing that predates our going out into Harvard Square as Apple Crisp last summer.
When Jonathan was 5 or 6, he'd join me in Rocking Horse People (RHP), an all Beatles cover band. We played our first outdoor gig in Central Square, Cambridge.
1997?

RHP then spent a summer playing in Harvard Square.
Moving further back in time, here's a particularly foretelling moment. This was at the Children's Discovery Museum in Acton. I think it was on his 4th birthday.
1996
And even further back still:
1993
Lest I be accused of embarassing any young man with his baby pictures, I'll take some of my own medicine. We go yet further, to the origins of my mallet percussion obsession. Was I playing Hoedown in this shot?
~1982

I might show up at Faneuil Hall on Sunday just to see what kind of hat Jonathan is wearing.

I think Avi and Jonathan both need to get those yellow high school uniforms and hats and always wear those whenever performing. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Contra Band rules!

"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Contra Band". Adam, you've just inspired our NEFFA performance. It'll be the new fusion - we can do it all in one performance slot, as the Crisp Rocking Apple Horse People.
