PICTURE: Midtown station, 12:15pm
For the most part, the platform in the midtown station is a cold, uneventful place. It has a stand-offish vibe. No one talks. And no one sings. Ever. But this kid broke the seal. I heard him from the top of the stairs and the tone was nice. I hurried down to the landing with enough time to take this picture and to hear the Ben Harper influence in his music. Three minutes later he boarded his train and was gone. It was a nice between meetings break. Music in a subway station is about as good as it gets.
Cool train song here.
Where are the best street singers in your town?
ive never heard any good ones. there used to be some guy at the masquerade who had a guitar with 3 strings on it, and he used to make all kinds of horrible noise. he said he used to be a professional.
