New York City symphony

July 26, 2009

When people ask me about living in the city, they always anticipate that I'll gripe about the noise. True, this isn't the farm in Paducah, but there is a certain melody about all the honking and screaming and bustle that is city life.

One of my great delights is the music that pervades the air, from car stereos to home-entertainment systems to the numerous musicians that call this delightful city home.

I especially like the musicians that occupy my building. There's the French horn player who warms up every afternoon for his evening gig with a Broadway show. A harpist lives on the top floor of my building, and there's the high pitch of a flute -- or maybe it's a piccolo instead -- that floats through the air outside my window. And I swear I heard a trombone the other day.

Only in NYC.
