Tribute to Seattle Busker Jim Hinde

At the end of their life, the best you can say about some folks is that they really didn't do much harm, or maybe they were nice to their kids. This week on "Indymedia Presents" we pay tribute to another fallen comrade. Jim Hinde, well known Seattle busker, passed away. Just about anybody who has spent much time in Seattle's open-air public market probably saw Jim playing at one time or another. He entertained, all right, but more to the point, he inspired and influenced many with his music. When we got word that Jim had passed, we made another death-defying trip into our archives and found an old piece of Jim Hinde performing live at a demonstration, singing his song "Raise Your Glass, Raise Your Voice."

We raise our glass and dedicate this show to Jim Hinde.
