Subway music

I don't think a single day has gone by where I haven't heard music in some form or fashion on the streets and subways of New York. 
I would venture to say, that, more often than not- it's more painful, than beautiful.
But a couple of times now, I feel really blessed to be in the right place, at the right time... and my ears get a little treat.
This was one of those times.
At first, I was not all that impressed by this guy. But then he started singing, and then I noticed he's 1) singing 2) playing the harmonica 3) playing the "drum" (or in this case a suitcase) 4) playing the tambourine, 5) playing the banjo...  all at the same time. 
All growing up my mom was really into bluegrass music; and I hated it. But at some point, it grew on me, and I can really enjoy it from time to time. 

I can't begin to tell you how much I was entertained by this guy. I almost feel bad for you, because this clip doesn't even do him justice.

I hope you can enjoy the little taste that I can give you!
