I know today is Thursday and I’ve been posting videos of family members sharing stories from their lives, but I couldn’t help but share this awesome musician I found in the subway in New York. His name is Eliano Braz. While I was heading down to catch the downtown 6 the other day at Grand Central, I heard this beautiful violin music. And since I play the violin, I had to stop and listen. I captured this short video on my iPhone but wish I had recorded more. Before I left I made sure to go up and speak with him and he even said we should play music together one day! Enjoy!

Very fine Abbey…thanks for sharing
My pleasure as always!
I just read an article the other day about out of work professional who play full-time on the subway. It’s illegal on the subway, but this former IT guy was doing it anyway and making a living. Said he even took two years off after getting laid off to train. Wish I had the link. Dang.
That sounds awesome. Have you ever seen the video of Joshua Bell playing violin at a metro stop in D.C? He’s an amazingly talented man (that’s such an understatement) and he only made like seventeen bucks. If you haven’t seen the video, here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnOPu0_YWhw
Pretty cool!
By the way, I am now obsessed with Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, and I believe it was you who posted the first vid of them I saw.
So thanks for my new obsession.
Oh my gosh, I’m so happy you love them! I’m going to see them and the Allman Brothers in September and I’m SO excited. I’ll make sure to take a video for you!
