Having been away for a week, I particularly appreciated hearing the sounds of the Ebony Hillbillies in the NYC Subway on my way to work on Friday (I don’t think the YouTube clip does them justice – try one of their albums instead). They are part of a group of artist who grace MTA riders with their music, providing a cadence to the week and a lift to your commute.
Outside of buying one of their albums and giving them a few dollars, I don’t know how to thank these guys and tell them what a wonderful part of my week they are. And it’s interesting, because peoeple who are much less talented I’m sure have gotten much more fame and fortune than they have. So check them out and spread the word – they make wonderful music.
