   I think I’ve seen these guys on the train coming home from Yankee Stadium. Not the train platform, mind you. The actual train. As I recall, they board with folding chairs so the two drummers can sit, then they play as a few stops go by, with the horn player and the rattle/shaker guy walking up and down, collecting money.

   Maybe… he had always enjoyed the music at that subway stop and wanted to somehow participate in the fun. But did not know quite how to do it. And he remembered he had that dolphin suit in his closet collecting dust. And just maybe he thought, “That’s it! This is how I can participate! And doesn’t everybody want to ride a dolphin?!” So that next morning he put on that dolphin suit and made a sign and went down to the subway to join the performers…. Maybe that is what happened. Maybe….
