In the Karrada district of Iraq's capital, residents awake to a gas bottle deliveryman's dulcet tones – once a country-wide tradition, but now a solo act. The 22-year-old is the last gas deliveryman in Baghdad to announce the arrival of his cylinder-laden rickshaw by singing. Many people appreciate the unique tradition of the singing gas deliveryman. Ahmad Ali, a 30-year-old grocer, appreciates the tradition of the singing gas deliveryman. In Lebanon and Syria, vendors would in the past deliver gas by donkey-drawn cart, announcing their arrival by honking a horn.
