30 years after seeing him sing on a sidewalk in Paris, the author tracks down a magnetic street performer without knowing his real name or where he lives. Chinatown Troubadour introduces the reader to Lucky Chain, the 70-something-year-old musician who believes he could be the next global pop star. This is the true story of the two-year search to find him, and ultimately, the relationship between the singer and the author. Early reviews call it both entertaining and healing. Readsfavorite.com says, Short, engaging, and lighthearted, Chinatown Troubadour will charm musicians and music fans alike.
