I love the Maple Leaf rag and they played it so beautifully!! So talented!

[@melissawingfield8666]

That was awesome 👏👏👏 ... what would be so neat too is in a few years (maybe sooner), would be these 5 starting off, then the younger kids coming in on que one by one, adding to the quintet, playing their instruments. This was a great idea ... and you got a HUGE crowd around you!

It's always nice to see an impromptu performance like this. It's a pity that places like the subway stations and airports don't allow it to happen more often. It would lighten the mood and travelers would feel so much more relaxed, especially around the holidays.

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Thank you!🙏❤️🎶🥰

[@TwinL17]

Beautifully performed ❤ too bad y’all couldn’t stay and perform more contraband music 😂

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Haha yes!😅 There was a little group of policemen forming and I was pretty sure a second song wasn’t an option!😂

[@cynthiawilliamson5905]

Sounds good

[@daveshoemaker7137]

You should contact the station to see if they would approve your playing in a designated area. The balcony above the staircase looks like a great place!

[@teresagoodwin7522]

So incredibly talented! Too bad they didn't allow more!

[@marielnaifesoriano4046]

The kids are working for the whole family...

[@TheHappyCaravan]

We just played for 3 minutes… ❤️ if we tried to play longer we would have been kicked out.😭

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

So, did the police talk to you or give you a warning or anything like that? Or, did you just finish song and you were left alone to pack up and leave? The man in the funny hat looked so serious and stern, but you could tell he was enjoying it. Lol

[@MrJking065]

Story. Before I retired. I would get many phone calls a day. But there would be days that I got even a ton more of calls. I would always say when I get a call...what is this Grand Central Station?

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Haha😅That’s a fun story☺️ The station is really busy so I understand why it has that reputation.

[@claudiarodgers7893]

Curious why they don’t want you to play there? Seems like harmless entertainment!

[@TheHappyCaravan]

I think it’s considered a national monument. They even have military guards in full gear there.
