Terrifying subway encounter

You are a braver man than I.

I love it.

I'll take this all day over some loudmouth Christian spouting bible bullshit.

I always pictured Weird Al as being shorter.

What time is it?! SHOWTIME!!!

It wasn’t as bad as Showtime.

Could’ve been worse; could’ve been bagpipes.

I say it’s a lovely rendition. He doesn’t seem to mind if anyone disagrees with me.

I do have a soft spot for accordions and eccentric old guys. But I could also easily understand if he was not greeted warmly.

He gets points for Stevie Wonder.

Better than the accordionist I saw in Madrid one time, who basically just did scales and arpeggios. Not as good as the cellist I saw on BART.

He’s not bad? Very Lawrence Welk vibe

He was ok.

RETVRN!!!

You're not showing the part where his rather shady looking friends approach you with a bucket asking for you to contribute to the nice music performance that was being provided.

That was him. He used a hat.

New York is a hellhole.

How can he choose to play a Stevie song and it not be off Innervisions?!?! The subways are indeed not safe, good sir!

He slaps. The arrangement is on fire, his fingering is first class, his technique amazing, and he has the balance of a cat. Plus one can only assume (because he’s playing accordion) that he’s already three sheets to the wind. I love it.

Nice. Recently had a violin kid in the CTA in Chicago...most amazing thing was he could keep balance (and play well!) while not leaning on anything or using his hands. Great surfers, those guys.

Glad nobody was hurt.

Glad you made it out safe!

I saw this and said, I need to tag Carl!

Play the accordion, go to jail.

Honestly, an accordion is perfect for that syrupy song. I like this guy’s version better than Stevie’s.

Nah, I love him for them.

Buskers are thing in the subways aren’t they ?

I don’t mind that music…but to others, he can be just as annoying as the shithead playing music on their phone/speaker and not welcome. It’s public transport, respect other’s ears.

Well if that is your stalker then it is really really terrifying.

Don’t Paris my Brooklyn!
