I’ve got my horse blinders on when I’m traveling. If I’ve seen one train station, I’ve seen them all. They’re designed for function, institutionalized and clinical. There’s not much warmth or color, and people are in too much of a hurry anyway! It’s a transient place for people in transit. And when I’m not in the middle of going from point A to point B, you can find me in the corner sleeping.
For those who do travel a lot, aren’t we all like this? Don’t we all feel like there’s nothing new to see at a local train or subway station when you’ve been through something similar so many times? Nothing new ever happens at a train station regardless of where in the world you are, right?
So when something out of the ordinary does happen, something to shake your routine and jar your senses, you’re most likely going to pay attention. I know I would if I saw this going down. All of a sudden, I wouldn’t have my horse blinders activated!
It’s rush hour and people are buzzing around. It should pique anyone’s curiosity to see a hooded figure alone, that’s suspicious enough, but to see a hooded figure sitting at a piano, you gotta know something really cool is about to transpire! This person is seated at a piano, which is placed there for anyone who wants to pass the time tickling some ivories. They are wearing a fur-lined parka. Unbeknownst to commuters, it’s Brendan Kavanagh also known as Dr.K. A. He’s the London native known for entertaining people in busy travel hubs like airports and train stations, by playing the piano and making YouTube videos. He’s all about the street piano videos, and has been known to dress up and play in all sorts of different places! You never know where you’ll be able to catch him next, and that’s all a part of the fun!
This video is no different. He starts off by playing a beautiful classical piece, transitioning into boogie-woogie then the blues! His tunes literally stop people dead in their tracks to soak up the music and make them appreciate his art. It’s such a great reprieve from the hustle and bustle of going from one place to the next! What an incredible musical treat to put a little bounce in everyone’s step.
