### Dedication
To the People of the Tunnels in the NYC Underground,
This book is dedicated to you—the commuters, the wanderers, the dreamers, and the unsung heroes of the subway system. In the labyrinthine corridors of the New York City subway, where the daily grind meets the pulse of a bustling metropolis, may the echoes of fine music reach your ears and bring you peace, even if just for a moment.
To the musicians who brave the depths of the underground, sharing their art with an ever-moving audience, your resilience and creativity light up the darkest tunnels. You transform mundane commutes into symphonies of human connection, reminding us all of the beauty that lies in unexpected places.
May the melodies and harmonies played beneath the city streets continue to inspire, uplift, and unite us all. Here’s to the shared moments of serenity, joy, and reflection that subway music brings, making our journeys richer and our lives more harmonious.
With deep appreciation and respect,
Soren
