Heard in the Subway...

A bagpiper. Playing that standard of the bagpipe, Maoz Tzur.

Which is a Hanuukah tune, for those not in the know.

I love this town.

Contrary to perhaps the most popular believe, bagpipes are not an exclusively Scottish instrument, neither now nor historically... ;)

The same German folk tune that has become the most well-known tune for Maoz Tzur was also used by Luther for an hymn that AIUI is still popular. So the piper may not have intended Maoz Tzur. Still, given the season (only two months to Chanukah) and the location (NYC), that's the way to bet.

I would love a recording of that - both of us like bagpipe music.

I love my city.
