No, haven't seen him.
There used to be a guy who was a kind of main greeter in Laguna Beach, decades ago. You kinda hadda wave back. Maybe he left for the islands.
Kidding, these were definitely different people.
Sometimes semi iconic folk are interesting. I lived in Venice, CA for a zillion years and we had Harry Perry who skated on the boardwalk, played guitar, sang reasonably well, if I remember right on his ever singing, usually he didn't sing; I think he was a sikkh, however you spell that. In fact, dadgummit, he probably was the one who sat in front of me at the Fox Venice movie theater...
I suspect he is an interesting person; people who I knew who had talked with him said he is sharp. He lived, last I heard, only a couple of blocks from us.
Damn, I miss Venice.
Aha, here's

My first studio was a half block from where that 'riffling' is going on...
