It's pretty funny because it's muffled, like you said. I'm really glad to hear his whole story about his getting a new truck from the neighbors. I never saw him in Treme before Katrina but we had the Winn Dixie and Circle groceries before the storm and now there is nothing. Yeah, Chris, that’s the dialogue he has going.

(if you can call that a song) I love hearing him come down my street. Is this the same guy with the muffled "I have onions I have corn, I have lettuce and tomatoes" song?

Been doing it for years and years. Lost his truck in the storm and the neighbors got together and bought him a new one. He and his produce are awesome! He usually cruises the Bywater and Marigny.
