Ha. Don't laugh at this next part. But check the NY subways. You could
assemble a symphony orchestra from some of the people who play in the
trains. Oh, yeah, there are the real dogs, too: the guy who imitates Jimi
Hendrix or Muddy Waters, the guy who sits on the street near Times Square
and blats into a saxophone.

Last year, I was watching the evening news, and the reporter was
interviewing people on the street. She came up to a Sax player playing the
Pink Panther on South Street in Phila. (a cool place to hang out), as she
approached him, I said to my wife - "that guy is hitting wrong notes." I
looked up at the screen, and low and behold, it was one of my former
students! He had moved to N.C. in 7th grade, and apparently was back in the
Phila. area (6 years later). Ya never know who you will see on the street.
