Subways are for singing
Ya' just never know what you'll stumble upon in the New York City subways. Sure the subway tunnels are filled with rats and (especially in the summer) "pee smell," but it’s also filled with amazing artists.
For example, yesterday, in the subway corridor between the 7 train and F/V/D lines underneath Bryant Park a family of singers, The Boyds, were harmonizing (and selling cds). I happened to have my 4-megapixel point-and-shoot camera with me to capture of few minutes of their art.
Many of the artists performing in the subways have been selected by the MTA for it's "Music Under the City" program. Click here for more information about the program.
The Boyds don't have a website but they do have a couple of cds (including a Christmas CD) that they offer for sale. If you would like to purchase a copy of one of their cds, you'll have to track them down on the subways -- or shoot me an e-mail at takeacoldshower@gmail.com and I'll give them a ring to find out how you can order a copy of one of their cds.
Video length: 1:41 minutes.
