The Music of the City

On Friday morning, Nicolle and I ventured downtown to buy a gift for our good friend's wedding shower. It's a short train ride up to the loop, where there is tons of shopping on State Street and Michigan Ave. We were headed back to school and were waiting for the red line (subway train). As we walked below ground we heard someone singing the classic song, "Lean on me." He was pretty good, so we joined him in singing (just not quite as loud). Nicolle sang the lyrics a few octaves higher than the man on the platform and I proceed to make the percussion sounds, the cymbal is my favorite. I got a little sad though, Nicolle is graduating, and I'm going to miss her immensely, because she is someone I lean on. It's a sad part about college, every year there is going to be friends who graduate and leave. When we got on the train we started talking about how much we love this part of living in the city of Chicago; There is Music Everywhere! It only got better when we transferred to the green line at Roosevelt, we had another artist rapping in the train car. He's a regular and a favorite of the green line. We tapped our feet again enjoying the music and rhythm that make Chicago a special place.
