Underground Music

On a London Underground train yesterday, or the Tube as it's called here in England, or in other countries The Subway or Metro in Europe, the normally uneventful journey was suddenly livened up when two talented musicians who came into the carriage apologizing for their lateness, one with a fiddle (violin) and the other with a guitar. They quickly perked up the travellers spirits with an Irish folk melody and then Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues. Suddenly, I noticed the little girl in the background admiring the happening and immediately seized the moment as a lovely "street photograph". The music "stopped the time" of the trip between stations and provided a wonderful way of reminding us all how "we are all really one big family", each living in their own little worlds but together, never the less. That little citizen will always remember that lovely day she saw "underground music" being played with love and joy. Its all about sharing.
