Andover bagpiper, jeweler Stephen Walker offers reward for old photo

A picture is worth a thousand words − or in the case of Southern Tier jeweler and bagpiper Stephen Walker − a thousand dollars.

Walker, 67, is on a mission to locate a photo: one of him from nearly 50 years ago when he was a street busker, a street musician, in some of the great cities of Europe.

He’s willing to pay, too. Walker has offered up a bounty of Celtic jewelry valued at $1,000 if someone, somewhere can produce a photo.

He was hoping to find the decades-old snapshot by St. Patrick’s Day. Even though luck hasn’t been with him, he is not giving up.
