The Kent musician's cache of instruments ranges from a harmonica to a whistle. When he's not playing in traffic, Walker shows off his instruments as a traveling educator for the Ohio Arts Council. "I'm giving children the foundation for a lifetime of music that they can carry with them," he says. "There are many different folk instruments [that are] an alternative to GameBoy."

"I'll just put on my outgoing side and let 'em have it."
