Jerry Pickard reports that Tuba Man Jim Parfitt brought his Tuba to the Lake Forest Park Farmers Market for the second week on Sunday, June 16.

He was mildly successful as his hat had about $20.00 worth of ones when I talked to him. He played "Take me out to the ball game" and took requests from passers-by. Jim says he doesn't play as well when solo but was able to give good renditions of various songs while I was there.

There are buskers at the Market every Sunday, sometimes more than one. They add a different flavor and background to the bustling marketplace.

The market is held on the lower level of the shopping mall at the corner of Bothell and Ballinger Way every Sunday, 11am to 4pm.
