Register summary

Borough canon

Anders Flanderz is remembered for a one-man-band performance in Memorial Square that drew a crowd and temporarily distracted both officers and onlookers from whatever else was meant to be happening. His particular approach—voice, movement and a self-contained arrangement of instruments—became locally known as the Air OMB method.
