Photo by @hellokrisdavidson / As the days get chillier, often near Halloween, an elegant monster slinks into New Orleans. Between howls, the Violin Monster tells me he is about 400-years old and loves his work as a roving street performer traveling around the world. Pictured here: The Violin Monster plays a classical tune punctuated by emphatic howls to an adoring crowd in front of St. Louis cathedral in Jackson Square in the French Quarter. #werewolf
