Number 3

This is by far the best subway "musical" act begging for money that I have ever seen.

No lie, it was a two man bluegrass band. Complete with the country accent that made you just want to slap your knee to the beat of their song. If you need some sort of visual, think George Clooney's band in "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"


Their instruments included a paper bag with their coins in it that was the tambourine (I guess) and a rolled up newspaper the one guy was hitting against his hand as a drum. All they needed to complete their band was a banjo player. They even wrote their own lyrics! The best line of one of the songs (oh they definitely had a few they sung - seriously - I can see an album coming out next year entitled "Subway Blues") was "Smile. It won't even ruin your hair."

These guys were seriously a riot and I hope that you one day get to experience their subway concert!
