Most photographs in this book were taken while out walking with my baby in the pram, although a few were taken already before he was born, during the first couple of years I was in London and some I took much later on. There were no street musicians in my childhood in Czechoslovakia in the 1950's and yet I think that one of the things that made a difference for me and helped to make London a home, not a place of exile, was the music in the streets.
