Karl likes to drum

This is Karl.  By day, he is a computer programmer. He creatively works through problems and devises ingenious ways to handle routine issues.  He's helpful to others, and has programmed in the phrase, "Hope this helps" at the end of every email. 

Karl takes a collapsable bicycle on the Long Island Railroad train each day, and then bicycles downtown almost four miles from Penn Station garbed in a colorful outfit.  This even happens sometimes on rainy days and cold winter days. 

But, Karl has a different life as well.  He is also a musician and he also likes to drum. 

At lunch time some days, he goes to a position that he noticed on the steps of a building at One Liberty Plaza that overlooks the World Trade Center site.  There is a shelf that perfectly allows him to setup his drumpad and practice.  It is an interesting and public location to do this.  Surrounded by sightseeing tourists and security guards, there is Karl drumming.  Karl likes to drum.

Lovely picture - and a great attitude! Thoughtful of you to document it...
