It is no secret that the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago is home to a lot of artists.\\xa0 Musicians, painters, sculptors, theater companies and the people who make them happen.\\xa0 So it is not surprising that Nicholas Barron has an art studio just this side south of the Evanston border.\\xa0 In this 2 part series, we meet Barron the musician.\\xa0 His unique fingerpicking style, accompanied by percussive hits on the guitar and even the beat-box style of early rap artists creates a textured, full sound.\\xa0 This is rounded out by an extremely versatile voice--warm at times and full throated New Orleans shout at other times.\\xa0 Watching him perform his well crafted lyrics is a show. \\xa0 No small wonder that James Taylor tapped him in the New York Times as a musician to watch.\\xa0 For all his talent, he has the artist passion that goes with it.\\xa0 He started a campaign back in the '80's to protect the rights of street performers in Chicago.\\xa0 The fact that many artists can make a living performing legally on Chicago streets can be traced back to Barron's efforts. \\xa0 He is a complex, humble and engaging musician. \\xa0 Part 2 will take us into the visual art world of Nicholas Barron, one that he inherited from his parents, both successful artists themselves.\\xa0
