Maybe it’s just because of my classical music training (in what seems like an earlier life), but I found this video of a string quartet on Seattle’s streetcar utterly charming. I like the idea of a transit vehicle as a performance hall for chamber music. Cascadia could learn a lot from New York about encouraging music in transit.

“…An earlier life…” Yes! But, good classical music gets better with age, as do we ourselves when we stay tuned!Violinists rock! And maybe sometimes tuba players, too…:-)
