A song for the street corner


I saw the man playing congo drums the other day on a street corner and I said it’s warm again. There’s music again.

Music in the parks and at folk and neighborhood festivals and on the CTA if you have time to stop and listen.

Here is a song about hungry men from almost everywhere,  it seems, who stand on a streetcorner in Chicago waiting for work that comes nowadays in dribbles and sometimes breaks their backs but they wait.

Listen to the song. Attend the concert.

Think of a way you can add an audio like this to your publication’s website so  you can share this feeling for the music in a city of so many songs. And let me know if you.

gracias.
