Life is Fantastic

Sometimes, the little musical wonders you run across in New York make life that much better.

Last night's gems?

• Beethoven being played on steel drums...with a calypso swing. He was having the time of his life. I wonder if anyone else actually recognized what it was he was playing.
  
• A man playing the piano -- a real piano -- in the subway. (It was a rather large spinet. He'd take pieces off of it, and mounted it on a rolling platform, but still. A real piano.)
