The other day while transferring trains in the dreaded Times Square station I heard a very very melodious sound. Too melodious for a train station. As I am accustomed to be accosted by a cacophony of fairly talented musicians in the station on a regular basis, but never anything quite as astounding as this. So instead of heading to my train I followed the noise.What I came upon was SPONSORED by the city of New York. It was by a program called "Music Under New York" and the band that was playing was a free form funk band. I can't for the life of me remember the bands name so I apologize. But to say the least I was truly impressed. And even more importantly it gave me an awe of NYC public transport. You would never even imagine seeing someone play in a bus station in Boulder, let alone supported by the transportation authorities that be.
And even more importantly, I had a photo op.
Did they have a drummer with them who played buckets? If so, I might have seen them.
ReplyDeleteI see a lot of licensed musicians in the subway. They are great.
My favorit is the 'Saw Lady' (www.sawlady.com/blog ) at Union Square. Now that could be a great photo op for you - she plays a saw!
I also like the twins who play flamenco guitar.
Love your photos!
