My mother-in-law used to ask us at every supper to share our happy moment of the day. On the best days, it’s hard to pick.
But today, my happy moment stood out when I left work late and was waiting on the Blue Line platform.
I get to hear street performers pretty regularly, but they’re rarely very good. In my top 5 is an older Asian gentleman who used to play violin with his young daughter/granddaughter near the Fourth Presbyterian Church on Mich. Ave.’s Magnificent Mile.
On my new commute, I’ve been listening to a blind singer who makes up protest songs. They’re pretty bad, but more than mildly entertaining.
But tonight, I actually heard someone good. I stepped off the escalator to a rockin’ rendition of “Sarah Smile.” I’m not exactly a big Hall & Oats fan. But the song put a smile on my face and put me in a good mood when I went to kiss the kids goodnight.

Cara, your comment reminds me of hearing bands like Wilco, Squirrel Nut Zippers and singers like Gillian Welch in very small venues, like smoky bars in the South.Thanks for reading VFG.
