Wall of Music

SUBWAY ANECDOTAL
I've decided to attempt to start something new. Considering that I spend almost 13 hours a week riding the subway, not counting any weekend travel I may do, I am going to start a once-a-week post of a moment from my subway riding hours.

On our way to Port Authority, near Time Square, we traveled down a long tunnel. While there were many interesting things going on as we made our way, the wall of music stood out to me most. As an avid iPod listener, I have often wondered what it would be like if people could hear my music as I walked by them. It would be like sharing a part of me in passing, in a similar way that I do by my outer appearance. I'd imagine how everyone would have various types of music surrounding them, depending on who they are. When I saw these "advertisements" covering the walls of the tunnel, I was reminded of these past thoughts.

We didn't slow down to plug in our headphones, but did see a few people wondering along and listening to the various people's music. I'd be interested to see what sounds go with the different people. Since I didn't plug in, I am assuming it is music you hear... I guess I could be wrong?
