Morning
Islander guy walking through the tunnel with a guitar in one hand and milk crate in the other. Walks past an accordionist playing a Christmas carol.
Guitarist: "Do you mind if I play just up here?" Points down the tunnel.
Accordionist stops playing for a moment: "Oh yeah... Earshot, that's the main thing." Picks up the carol from where he left off.
Afternoon
On my way home the guitarist's still playing, and he's superb, great R'n'B voice and subtle strumming style.

Morning
"Take it Easy" - woman with a very nice country voice. Man drops some coins but they miss the guitar case and roll along the tiles, with him in pursuit. She says "That's alright. Thanks darling."

Morning
"Sail Away" - singer songwriter specialist on a Neil Young jag. A woman starts talking to him, and calls over her husband/boyfriend/brother/other to introduce him. H/B/B/O apologises to SSS - "She's always doing stupid shit like this". SSS laughs and slaps him on the back. Couple walk away, him haranguing her, her looking utterly forlorn.
