Itinerant Musician in Town in 1918: Mr. Bojangles?

From the July 25, 2018, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1918, 100 Years Ago.

"One of 'ye old tyme' fiddlers, well along in years, put in an appearance on the streets today, in an effort to pick up some loose change.

The musician's hair was snow-white, and he was no amateur with the fiddle, and it is probable that he picked up many a stray nickel or dime while in the city."
