Street devotees - Sightings of devotees doing devotional activity on the street

Hey yall,
Does anyone know about some older folks from North Carolina that recently arrived in California last week coming back from Braj. Some friends of mine sighted some devotee couple that fits that description and additionally are disciples of the chief Baba of Radha Kund (must be ADB?)
They were allegedly outside of Border's Books doing kirtan on the street (sitting)

The only people I could think of are Radhapada and his wife?

See what kind of age gaps we are confronted with. Radhapada is in his thirties, whereas Kalki speaks of some "older folks"... (Madhava is 20 something, so he is entitled to think of him as old
) A while ago I read in the Telegraph, Kolkata, about someone as "an old man" who was later told to be 46 years old.
As stated in another thread: Old-age begins with 42 according to Ayurveda.

Radhapada is 45. I tend to think of that as being over the average age of Baba's disciples, though of course I have no statistics. So, according to Ayurveda, he is already in his old age...
The note on doing kirtan on the street caught my attention, as I believe he's been in the habit of doing that. Now, of course the locations don't really add up...

There's a pretty clear picture of him in his
profile. Did the person look like that? If so, it was Radhapada-ji, & you should have said hi
Maybe even bought his 'Lamplight of Love' CD, cause its quite good
If it doesn't look like him, then I guess we will have to fish around more

I believe this is evidence of a sinister plot. The only way to verify that they were disciples of Baba is by way of the secret handshake.
A couple did recently return from Vraja to spend the summer in the US but they are not older and they are in the mid-West last time I heard from them.

Sorry, I should have mentioned which city. They were sighted in Santa Cruz outside Border's Books on Pacific Ave. I didn't see them. Some disciples of B.S. Govinda Maharaj told me that some older devotees that were doing kirtan said that they were disciples of the chief Baba of Radha Kund. I assume that means ADB because he is considered the Chief Mahant, is it not? Or perhaps there are other Babas who are regarded as higher by some?
Anyway, I guess no one knows about these devotees so we may never know.
