Music for a Blue Train (Clip)

This is an excerpt from Music for a Blue Train, a documentary about the musicians who busk in Montreal's metro, or subways. Bad News Brown, a charismatic harmonica player, acts as our witty impromptu host. Great music turns up in unexpected places as we get to see and hear what it's like to work 'in the trenches,' hustling for a time slot and a good spot, fighting and forging friendships, playing to indifferent audiences--all in subterranean spaces.
