So, it's finally Christmas season. Translation = BUY NOW! SANTA'S COMING! TIS THE SEASON! TREELIGHTING! Wow, it's pretty rad and all, but can be a bit overwhelming! So far though, the city version's not much different from anywhere else.
There are a few exceptions though. One is the local street musicians' styles adaptations. Not only the songs, but instruments have changed. Was greeted the other day by a fellow playing Let It Snow pretty damn well on a harmonica. Rhythm and lead at the same time, kind of a poly-beat approach that was pretty slick. Then there was a Jingle Bell Rocker of the steel drums last night in the subway, also decent. Hadn't seen these instruments so much until now, and found it interesting how they surfaced with the season.
Then today, I saw Santa! You know what? He was totally picking his nose and then advertising cell phones. That's what he's been reduced to at least in the world I live in. Kinda sad!
