Streetcars and chamber music.

Maybe it's just because of my classical music training (in what seems like an earlier life), but I found this video of a string quartet on Seattle's streetcar utterly charming. I like the idea of a transit vehicle as a performance hall for chamber music. Cascadia could learn a lot from New York about encouraging music in transit.
