Clad in cut-off khaki shorts and a white cowboy hat, Robert Cooper Welsh, Jr., 55, a self-proclaimed "political junkie," amused voters waiting in line at a South Miami polling place by playing guitar and singing tunes opposed to development in South Miami.
"The intentions with the guitar is to advertise in a different way than what the people are used to getting," Welsh said, who hopes to stop development at South Miami's borders."
Welsh, who lives west of South Miami Hospital, is concerned that the hospital wants to expand into his Manor Lanes neighborhood. He said he wants the area to remain limited to two-story homes .
Then Welsh played his song.
"If Downtown's build up like Brickle, will your taxes go down a nickel?
If the bank just keeps getting taller, will your taxes go down a dollar?"
