Surprisingly quiet piece, (considering it was recorded on a New York subway.) First person story punctuated with sounds of the subway, the subject singing, and clear thought provoking moments. Somewhat in the TAL narrative style with the subject telling his own story.
There's an anachronistic quality of singing gospel on today's subway car. The subject singing, and sliding into the middle of If I Ever Knew The Lord Before the words "thank you," as someone gives him a buck.
Heavy use of stereo production techniques to provide a realistic image of subway travel. Maybe I'll see this guy next time I'm in the Big Apple.

Nice longer piece for a morning's listening.
