This might just be the coolest, funnest morning commute video you’ll see in a long, long time
The National Sentinel ^ | 9/17/19 | TNS Staff

Posted on 09/17/2019 7:00:27 AM PDT by SleeperCatcher

Our morning commutes are tough enough as it is. Heading to the daily grind can be challenging, and even though we think we’re ‘used to it,’ having the strength to pull it off day after day after day can be…well…tough.

So anytime something can take our minds out of that place for even a little bit, it’s a good thing. And nothing does that like a couple of talented musicians playing for Union Station commuters as they shuffle to and fro catching trains and making their way to their respective places of employment.

If you don’t get happy after watching this video, well, then, there may be something very wrong with you. These guys are talented and should be making big bucks on a stage somewhere.

We love that commuters are putting money in their bucket too. That’s even cooler.

Maybe someone here plays that instrument but seems to me dancing like that while playing that huge instrument would take some incredible stamina and breath control

Drummer dude going to have a bad back

You took someone’s Youtube video, slapped it into your blog, and made it clickbait? It appears so.

Here is the direct Youtube link.

The dancing of the man playing the saxaphone is awesome!

"These guys are talented and should be making big bucks on a stage somewhere."

They're getting a dollar every 30 seconds or so.

They are much better than the usual subway musicians, who think volume makes up for quality.

NYC subway system has always had some great talent performing for the “strap hangers” (the above the head hand holds the subway cars use to have were straps that hung from a bar that ran the length of the car, interrupted only by the doors).

One reason is it is a magnet for musical talent, but the number of positions available is always much smaller than the number of people seeking work as musicians or singers. That makes many talented folks earning money any way they can, either between gigs or while still trying to get their first professional gig.

That was a hoot! The guy is deserving of a fellowship in the John Cleese Ministry of Silly Walks.

The sax player is definitely a honky.

If I were a kid and wanted to play a musical instrument and march in the school band, I wouldn’t pick a tuba or a drum. Probably a flute........

I'm getting over a 24 hr stomach bug or food poisoning - not sure which and I guess it doesn't really matter...

That said, this video was the first time I've smiled in a couple of days. That was cool. I'd have dropped a few bucks in their bucket.
