He wants to make his mark on the city
Kitchener Market’s ‘music man’ finds joy even as he faces terminal cancer
By Valerie Hill, Waterloo Region Record
KITCHENER — When Kitchener Market’s longtime busker, Curtis Tulk, looks at you with his startling blue eyes, there is kindness and a deep need to connect — but also a touch of sadness.
Tulk has terminal lung and bone cancer and is spending his final days at Innisfree House Hospice in Kitchener, in a room spilling with light from the glass doorway leading to a flower garden. His room is bright, airy and frequently filled with people who love the gentle singer that has been a fixture at the Saturday market for more than 20 years.
He is largely recognized for his black cowboy hat and playing those hurtin’ country songs, but despite his nickname — “The Music Man” — Tulk really wanted to be known as a painter.

Update: Curtis passed away Friday, September 7th, 2018 at Innisfree House. He definitely left his mark on Waterloo Region!
