[Dixielandjazz] Music on the Streets?

[Cebuisle2 at aol.com]

Hey guys-
 
One of my most memorable experiences on the Long Island  Railroad (and I have 
several, not all good) was a strolling (if that is the  word on a rocking 
train car) duo of jazz musicians, one with trumpet and one  with tenor sax. They 
walked through the cars headed for the Big Apple playing  Christmas music with 
a beat.The other passengers ignored them, (you know the  attitude, eyes 
straight ahead. ) Their efforts made my day and I dropped a fiver  in the 
unobtrusive bucket they carried. At no time did they try to hit anyone up  for a 
donation, and seemed happy with what they were doing..
 
My hat is off to all street musicians (and those that ride  trains)
