He dressed in typical hippy garb of the era, a black turtleneck with a brown striped vest, leather sandals, and faded multicolored pants, topped by a black béret
Personality[]
Ginsburg was an open friendly person who was rarely without his camera, and was eager to snap pictures at every opportunity. However, Ginsburg, himself, avoided being photographed, which was a peculiar habit for a stage performer, as he was want to recite his own poems at Café Hey, between announcing the other performing acts.
History[]
On December 14, 1961, Ginsburg made the acquaintance of Rosie McGee as she ventured into his Greenwich Village coffee house, Café Hey. As soon as he read her "vibe," they bonded quickly. After Ginsburg pefrormed his poem for the crowd, Rosie allowed him to look at her journal of observations, which he found deep. When Rosie stated that she was looking for new friends, he outlined her choices: left with (future musical legends) Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, or right with a young girl with long blonde hair sitting by herself. Rosie chose the girl whose name Ginsburg would shortly call out, May Clutterbucket, as she was set to perform. The next singer he called, Merlin Scoggins, a cowboy dressed in black, briefly sat with Rosie and May after he finished his song. By some unknown impulse, Ginsburg felt compelled to reach for his camera and capture
the meeting of the Observer, the Singer, and the Mystery Man for posterity, commenting that the moment had to be "worth something to somebody one day." It would take over fifty years, but that person would, in fact, be his own great grandson, Farkle Minkus, and he found it as a priceless treasure to share with his own friends, who by some cosmic coincidence, happened to be the great-grandchildren of Rosie, May, and Merlin.

Can't you see?
That you... are... me?
