this is what albert's student The Great Wilsoni or Keith balloonatic says about his teacher;
Hi there, this is for Albert Owens.
I brushed shoulders with a genius a linguistic genius of words,wits and comedy.
Some considered him the king of the park(Washington Square Pk), I know I did.
He was a great entertainer, a comedian with no match. Everybody copied him and his comic humor. who at a drop of a dime could play the blues , R & B, or classical music on his quitar, harmonica or piano (who knew).
He was the Lenny Bruce of the 80s 90s. Washington Square Pk had a few great acts, his was tops, He loved life and hated few, always had a bad word for someone but meant no harm, I am very much indebted the the man Albert George Owens, He took me under his wings and taught the ropes I owe much to this man larger than life. God Bless.
