Story[]

The Town Troubadour is a musician who plays guitar and sings in Stars Hollow. It is said that he does not accept money. He generally subscribes to a 'troubadour mystique' as he explains to the town when another troubadour starts moving in on his turf in Stars Hollow. He doesn't believe that people should know anything about troubadours; who they are, where they come from – he feels it is part of the part he plays being the town's troubadour. He is elected the official town troubadour during a town meeting in 2001[1].
