Will entertainer John Davidson retire to Catalina Island? No one can be sure, but it sure was on the entertainer’s mind during his evening performance Oct. 12. However, it apparently stayed on his mind because he began telling friends on the morning after that he wanted to return next summer.
As he and his wife Rhonda roamed the streets of Avalon, Davidson said, “I am thinking seriously of moving to Avalon next summer to become a street performer.” After making it clear the night before how much he loved the island, Davidson said he wants to become a minstrel, troubadour, or someone who simply sings on street corners or in particular spots of the city to interact with residents and visitors. Davidson, who once commanded top stages in the U.S., says at this point in his life it is just an idea, but something he thinks he may want to do.
