		It would be trite to speculate whether "the game has passed Frank Robinson by." The better question is what he accomplishes as manager of the Washington Nationals---now, and next month, and three months from now, and perhaps next year.
		I think Robinson understates the social and cultural differences between the NSFâs Frank Vanderwal and the down-and-out types he meets, but itâs also possible to read their interactions as just humoring Frank.

		There is another xylophon man in San Sebastian (north of Spain) which is quite cool as well.
		Frank was a pretty amazing character, because even though he was pretty terrible he always had this massive smile on his face and he truely enjoyed what he was doing whether or not he was getting money or not.
		He touched more people while he was there than any other person, which I suppose is the reason why many people would like him to be remembered in the streets of Nottingham with a statue, whether or not this happens is really dependant.

		Still, I can say I've followed his career from its late 80s beginnings, and was even able back in 1993 to put in a good word for him with City Centre Management at a time when they were thinking of only allowing licensed buskers to ply their trade.
		Even years after moving away from Notts, I have friends ask me if Xylophone Man is still doing his proto-trip hop thing down by Superdrug or Warehouse (he was versatile you see, could play to upmarket crowds too).
		He was like a cross between Gladys Pugh and Charlie Chuck, the melody of the xylophone punctuated with a Tourette's like adlib.

	Nottingham buskers, "The Xylophone Man"
		Although over the last seven or eight years Nottingham's buskers have been on the decrease we've still been able to rely on one Frank 'The Xylophone Man' Robinson to entertain us with his tuneless bing bonging while we've shopped but sadly Frank passed away this summer after fifteen years of busking.
		Also regularly seen is Mogs, The Saxophone Man who is currently on a sabbatical after twenty years of busking and a chap on a banjo who sometimes travels over from his usual patch in Derby for a change of scenery.
		These musical street artists are as much a part of Nottingham as the Goose Fair or the caves and though it might seem an odd thing to be proud of having the most unique and lovable characters for miles around is part of what makes Nottingham great.
