On Demand
Taking it to the Streets
Monday, May 21, 2007
On June 21, the first day of summer, some 400 musical acts will take to the streets of New York for "Make Music New York," a city-wide celebration of music. The event is modeled after France's "Fête de la Musique," first held in 1982 in Paris and an annual event throughout the country ever since. Today, Aaron Friedman, the event's founder, joins us to shed light on some of the more unusual offerings.

I checked out the link you gave for the 'Make Music NY' schedule. I put in 'Upper West Side' (my neighborhood) and in the category I chose 'other'. Only one performance came up - the 'Saw Lady' (http://www.SawLady.com ) will play the musical saw on Amsterdam Avenue between 104th & 105th streets from 1-4PM. Now that's different! Not something you see/hear every day :) Pretty cool - thanks for the link info.
