Far below Market Street, Kalin Freeman plays his saxophone for people at the Montgomery BART station, bringing light to a dark place, in a dark time.
Freeman is a product of the East Bay, growing up in Oakland and Richmond, attending Richmond High School, where he played basketball and got into music … by mistake.
“It was like a six-week program. I did it for two years in the summer,” he said. “And I was like, ‘I want to go back to the Bay! I mean, Boston was cool and all, but ain’t nothing like the Bay. I don’t think anywhere’s really like the Bay, to be honest with you.” He’s seen a lot down there. About a month ago, he says he intervened when a disturbed individual pushed an elderly lady down onto the platform. Freeman said he held the guy until the police came and made the arrest. “It’s crazy down here. People feel like they can do whatever they want,” he said.
