Sykes: A Buoyant, Blind Senior Citizen
- 1974 ----- color ----- 13 min ----- 16mm
- Sykes Williams is a vital, elderly musician who ventures out into Chicago's North Side, despite his blindness. He is a local favorite, stopping to chat with old and young and entertaining customers at a sing-along bar to supplement his income, While Sykes is ebulliant, he is also down-to-earth. His peppery comments on urban decay, social security and the neglect of the elderly, echo the concerns of his age group.
