Shutter On The Street

Natalia used to freelance (play without a permit) on the streets of New York City.  The cold winter and rain encouraged her to move underground into the subway system where the weather was consistent.  Playing without a permit meant that Natalia was subject to the nuisance of tickets and fines.  She didn’t mind the small fines but when she received a $150 fine for having a “weapon”, she filed down her saw and sought out the permit.  While she appreciated the freedom offered to her by not having a permit, she enjoys the stability and consistency offered by the permit.  Today, Natalia can be seen playing in various subway stations Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 12-3pm.
