One more of those Monday mornings. In the airport very early, long queues for TSA Precheck (much longer than the normal ones) and thousands of people milling around like a retinue of ants in your yard. I kept up with my usual routine – checked in my suitcase (it is one of those that you carry on with you but I have started checking in so as to let me board the plane as one of the last passengers in a unhurried fashion), walked to the one TSA PreCheck line that I know is usually shorter and then instead of taking the train, started the long walk to my Terminal in the underground tunnel.

Somewhere during that walk, I saw this gentleman. First, I thought it was recorded music. And then I noticed it was he who was playing it. He was playing the saxophone so beautifully that I had to stop there and hear him play for about ten minutes. And then during his break, I found out from him that Atlanta airport has started this program for local musicians to come and perform live at the airport. It was then that I recollected that a few minutes back, I had indeed passed another gentleman playing the piano (on a keyboard though) in the large atrium area between North and South side of the airport (before security). I should have taken a picture of him too.

Atlanta airport has a great Arts program where it features a lot of local artists of all age and their creations in the airport. It was great to see them promoting music too!

In any case, I was getting late. As he went back to his saxophone, I resumed my long walk again….
