NYC impromptu subway serenade (thanks to Kay for the heads up)...

Description from youtube: 
Okay- what you are about to watch is a true New York experience.  What originally started out as a typical nyc subway ride turned into an awesome performance by two people who have never met before.  I captured the whole thing on video.  The singer continued with another great song after the entire subway car demanded an encore. Her name is Jessica Latshaw- make sure to check out her music.

Okay, so johnnykmusic took the bait and looked up Jessica Latshaw. Who knows whether or not this whole thing was staged (and she could have given the bongo guy a bit more love), but it's pretty cool anyway.   Here is a version of the same song performed (without bongo accompaniment) at Cabaret For a Cause on 8/14/11.  Apparently she is a dancer/singer who has done some Broadway, too.  She's definitely trying hard to hit that tipping point and, to that end, she's got Rob Thomas tweeting her up now.  She will be appearing at the Local 269 Bar in NYC on Jan 14 (Sat).  Facebook Twitter

UPDATE:  Her BLOG explanation of what happened. 

Here's something she posted back in June (she's on piano this time).
