Joe Bush (organ grinder)

Joe Bush (born c. 1941) is an organ grinder in the New York City metropolitan area.

Bush began his organ-grinding career in 1975. According to the Los Angeles Times, "Bush tied himself to his monkey every night for three weeks. His wife would say goodnight and shut him in the family room and turn up the volume on the television."

He performs with a capuchin monkey named Oscar.
