The Beat Below The Street: 'I ain't here on business, I'm only here for fun..'

http://beatbelow.blogspot.com/2009/08/i-aint-here-on-business-im-only-here.html

The Beat Below The Street. A soundtrack for your journey. Monday, August 10, 2009. I ain't here on business, I'm only here for fun.'. Two important reality checks tonight. I'm coming to the end of this 'temporary life' and it has given me a renewed respect and admiration for the people who do this every day for a living. They work hard and deserve any recognition and reward they can get. Obviously I'll need to find some sort of job when this is done, but that's another story. Randy De Luca is one of those.

The Beat Below The Street. A soundtrack for your journey. Tuesday, August 11, 2009. I got chills, they're multiplyin'.'. The penultimate day of the project and I wanted to do something special, so I asked my beautiful stepdaughter if she'd like to come busking with me. Surprisingly, being the possessor of the lion's share of musical talent in our family, she agreed to humor me; so I thought we should go somewhere that hopefully will figure large in her future musical career. Is now $110.24. You Belong To...

In 1965, Eric Paulin saw The Beatles play at Shea Stadium and it changed his life. Today he runs the best Beatles tribute band in the Subway. Have been together about six months, with the group's name being chosen by a poll on the New York Beatles' fans Meetup page. The band plays regularly at the main MUNY spots at 34th and 42nd Street - a better gig than playing in ...

At the end of 48 days, I collected a total of $110.24 for the Robin Hood Foundation, which will be doubled up after I send them a check in the next few days. Part of the appeal of this was the idea of randomness; that by starting at a different station each day I would encounter music at different places across the city, and I tried as far as possible to get a good ...

The Beat Below The Street. A soundtrack for your journey. Saturday, September 18, 2010. Ninety miles an hour girl, is the speed I drive.'. Today is the 40th anniversary of the death. Of James Marshall Hendrix, who lived, died and found fame an ocean away from home. Almost as a reminder that he had to come to England to kickstart his career. There's a pretty cool painting of the man as icon in the Virgin Atlantic departure lounge at Heathrow. I recently saw a great documentary called Rock Prophecies.

The Beat Below The Street: 'Start me up'

http://beatbelow.blogspot.com/2009/06/start-me-up.html

The Beat Below The Street. A soundtrack for your journey. Monday, June 8, 2009. It was important to me symbolically that this journey started here. I arrived at the station this morning the same way I used to when I worked at Forbes. Except this time I’m staying on the platform. As I found out today, it’s not so busy after rush hour. It was hot and humid and noisy, but I found a nice corner that was a naturally resonant spot. But it’s normally long enough for at least one complete song. I played fourteen...

The Beat Below The Street. A soundtrack for your journey. Tuesday, August 4, 2009. Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty.'. Played an evening set tonight close to home, in the heart of downtown Brooklyn, right by Junior's. Usually there's a steel drummer who plays on the platform here during the day; not sure how he manages it, since it's a pretty narrow space between the up and down platforms. In the evening the trains are frequent and it's dusty and almost unbearably hot. Here Comes The Sun - Beatles.

The Beat Below The Street: 'A dream of life comes to me..'

The Beat Below The Street. A soundtrack for your journey. Monday, August 3, 2009. A dream of life comes to me.'. When I first moved to New York, in May 2000, I lived downtown for a couple of months while I looked for a permanent apartment. My Subway stop was Fulton Street, and as I went into the station every day to go to work, the sky would be dark because the World Trade Center towers were just a couple of blocks away. On the day itself, at the moment the world changed, I was in the air. Although I was...

The Beat Below The Street. A soundtrack for your journey. Wednesday, August 5, 2009. Where the underworld can meet the elite.'. Twice, 42nd Street had beaten me. Consecutive string breaks. I was determined to go back and play a proper set at the busiest station in the network, determined also that it wouldn't fall into the list where I've struck out, and when better than on the 42nd day of this project. So I persevered for about an hour using the little Martin, and lo and behold, I managed a dollar!
