Thanks for the link. It was a great experiment written up in a great article. There’s one street musician that stands out in mind — it’s an older gentleman who played some great toe-tapping tunes on his clarinet. When I first heard him, I didn’t want to get on the train to leave. I think it was at the Harvard Square T stop, but it could very well have been at Downtown Crossing. Thanks again.

As a former T rider, there are two things I still miss about Boston’s creaky subway:
1. musicians on the station platform.
2. being able to eat on the system.

Some great Boston area muscians have released album-length cd’s of recording from inside a T Station. And no, I have to admit I don’t miss how dirty the T could be, my hunger pangs aside.

I liked it when musicians played and breakdancers broke on the subway. That about sums it up. Happy Holidays!
