A subway song for the masses...

On particularly hard work weeks I find myself not knowing what day it is. My time at work during the day creeps more and more in to my evenings during this busy time and it makes my mind spin. On any given morning, the 42nd Street Subway Station, where I catch my morning train, is bustling with the sound of commuters, train screeches, lively chatter and general noise. However, on Thursday morning I get a quick and lovely reminder that the week is almost over. It's the sound of a fiddle and a banjo in the distance. Each Thursday morning, a talented group of musicians called The Ebony Hillbillies play Bluegrass music for the passers by. While I'm not a huge fan of the genre of music, I am a fan of truly brilliant and talented artists. I'm also a fan of New York City supported Arts programs like this one called the MTA Underground Music Series that bring a diverse range of mediums of art to a larger audience. Just think of the all the locals on their way to work, tourists from other countries visiting the city, transit workers going about their routine who all get to enjoy their amazing talent. This is another reason that I simply love New York. There are always little surprises just around the corner to make you smile. Watch a clip of the amazing Ebony Hillbillies below.
