Samantha lives her life outside the mainstream. She’s a traveling musician playing Yiddish, Romany and other forms of traditional music on clarinet and flute. She left home at age 13 and has essentially been traveling ever since, hopping trains, staying at hobo camps or intentional communities, and performing on the street. (Less so now that she has children and other responsibilities.) She is also the founder of the 999 Eyes Freak Show, the world’s only bona fide freak show. I interviewed some of the freak show performers on December 24, 2008. You can hear that interview here.
