Friday Morning subway blues

I have to take every morning one of these overcrowded subways to go to work. This morning it was a little bit less crowded and I was dozing when I heard some really nice music. ( You got quiet a lot of musicians playing in the parisian metro, but the most of it is really awful out of tune accordeon music) So it was a couple, she was singing lead and he was playing guitar and sung harmony vocals. They were starting with "One of us" (Joan Osborne/Prince?) I love this song and the woman got a beautiful voice.The guitar player has put his Kapodaster quiet high on the fretboard and the guitar sounded like a mandolin. Then they sung "Revolution" from Tracy Chapman, another on of my favourite songs and to finish a Sarah Mc Lachlan song. I listen mainly to Prog, but a nice tune, decent guitar work and harmony vocals are really the best.

Made my day

I bet you take the tube in Paris
maybe we'll meet one day inside

I remember many years ago hearing a beautiful acoustic rendition of 'Brain Damage' by a couple of girls on the Paris Metro. I think Parisian buskers are generally of a higher standard than the ones we get in London, apat from those out of tune accordionists.

That's the cool thing about the Paris Metro 9the Mexico City one too) , they are much quiter because the wagons are mounted on rubber tyres (no rail joint noises).

coming in from Heathrow a few years back i encountered two bimbos who thought they were the Indigo Girls. unfortunately, the train was too crowded and i couldn't throw them off without losing my seat
