He was born in Kansas as Louis Thomas Hardin and while a youth found a blasting cap, taking it home to investigate. His investigation caused it to explode, blinding him. In New York City his clothing which he made himself became a costume looking like a Norse warrior. His music got the attention of many prominent musicians and over time he made several records and albums several sites exist with pictures and information, At least one book, 'Moondog". http://www.amazon.com/Moondog-The-Viking-6th-Avenue/dp/0976082284 The German website is at http://www.moondogscorner.de/ and a movie is being made about him http://thevikingof6thavenue.com/kickstarter_campaign/ Hope this isn't too far afield.
