Wavelength – 2006 August 13th You’re a winner or you’re a sinner

“You’re a winner or you’re a sinner”. Evangelist lay preacher recorded at Piccadilly Circus + “Flak” by David Jackman. This lay preacher was a fixture at Oxford Circus for many years, relentlessly preaching to the crowds through a portable megaphone. His mantra was “You’re a winner or you’re a sinner” along with other rhymes. This recording on a Walkman cassette recorder was made at his later site on Piccadilly Circus. I haven’t seen him at either location for at least one year.
