"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

New York Minute

Last night I was waiting on the uptown platform at 103rd Street. There was a kid playing the guitar across the tracks and at first I didn’t notice him but then I couldn’t help but listen. He wasn’t playing a song just jamming. I waited for him to finish so that I could applaud. He was good. But he didn’t stop. So I saw that my train wasn’t coming yet and ran up the stairs, crossed over to the other side, ran down the stairs and threw a dollar in the kid’s guitar case.

“You are doing work,” I said.

When I got back to the uptown platform I was able to capture this just before my train rolled into the station.

Listening to that dude play made my day.

According to the worldwide leader, Pettitte is close to announcing he's coming back and to a deal with the Yanks.

And River Ave Blues has a report from Japan that Ichiro is coming back for 1yr/$5M plus incentives.

Sign me up for both of those.
