...most eccentric in the year's rash of musical moppets is Chicago's David ("Dudy") Davis, 6, a violinist being kept under cover for later, safer release. A raw-vegetarian and nudist, Dudy is taken to school bundled in a large cape, stripped down to a loin cloth when he practices. Even so, he is sometimes too hot, and cries: "I'm sweating bullets...
