Music in the T

[jencallisto]

From what I've heard, as of Dec. 1st many types of musicians will not be allowed to perform in the subway stations. I don't have all the facts, but measures appear to include banning all amplification as well as certain types of instruments.

Personally, I am more often than not happy when there's music on my way in to work in the morning, and many of my favorite subway musicians use amplification.

This petition protests the restrictions:

If anyone has additional information from more official sources, I'd be interested in hearing more about this.
