Thanks so much to J.P. Roberts for telling me about five time king of the hobos Maurice "Steam Train Maury" Graham. A fascinating character who later in life decided to start riding the rails like he did when hew was young, leaving a note ion the kitchen table that said " See ya". He was often seen at hobo "jungles" ( large, temporary hobo towns) where he was crowned king of the hobos five times in their annual festivals. Every year he dressed up as Santa, he visited schools and veterans hospitals and prided himself on never stealing.
I love this charachter.....cool drawing...I'm sure I know him......

Love this drawing Eric :) Have you seen this book - "Done and Been: Steel Rail Chronicles of American Hobos" ? :) It has personal accounts by this Steam Train Maury and others :)
I've been obsessing over this music all day. I was told about one band on Facebook by Mark Hill; Dark,Dark, Dark. Mark directed me to AllMusic and I just loved them and kept looking for associated bands. There all these bands emerging in the U.S. in the last few years doing this multi-instrumental, Americana, bluegrass, indy stuff and it's all amazing.The term I've heard used to describe this music is Hobo Revival...Last FM describes Hurray For The Riff Raff as
"......currently a 4 piece folk band out of New Orleans, Louisiana. Alynda Lee leads the band with her deep, aching voice, which seems unparalleled yet reminds us of Nona Marie Invie of Dark Dark Dark, and all-star banjo skills. Walt McClements plays accordion, fiddle & toy piano, Aubrey Freeman plays double bass, and Shae Freeman plays the saw, autoharp & vocals."
This music is a perfect soundtrack for Harry and Silvio; all whimsy and creaking and darkness and fun.

You might like Saint Seneca, I don't know if they're exactly the hobo revival genre but they are fun to listen to also. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6ZP8WuYtog
