Yesterday I had a round of drinks with some friends at Greenpoint’s Pencil Factory and learned that one of them, Owen Roberts, has started a blog about subway and other public performers…”What a brilliant idea!!” I thought…actually everyone at the table thought that.
Check it out…perfectly titled “Songs Along the Way” the blog includes recordings of subway performers and Owen explains on his blog:
I ride the NYC subway a few times everyday and make sure to always have my ipod recorder with me in case I come across some sweet musician busking by the tracks.
