@casablancamicasa Search Youtube for "Melissa Elledge" and you'll find a bunch of videos that include her! :-)

@beach1963 ya,someone told me her name,she was in the band called Voltaire,but i guess i was the first one capture her from the subway.

Ive seen her a few times and she always takes my breath away... She looks and plays beautifully and i never mind waiting for the train when she is there. I've always wanted to talk to her, but never do...

@xiwantshoesx i am glad at least two people who saw this girl watch this video too,this video was filmed before i left new york and back to my own country,it was the only time i saw this girl and probably the last time because i already left this city,i really want to know everything about this girl but i didn't ask her at that moment so to me she is kind of like a mystery forever.so she still there? not sure one day if someone finally talk to her,all i got is this video,if you did,let me know.

It's not a bandoneon. It'a an accordion.

[casablancamicasa]

@sojeft you're right,thanks for remind me.

Wow! SHE'S HOT ACCORDION BABE! BURNING LOVE.

[TiffanyjThorpe]

She's brilliant. I love how she turns Fur Elise into the blues.

Are you kidding with the video description, a mysterious, young woman accordion player with 'sadness' in her eyes? How about this-she is simply a pretty, subway, street musician who performs her instrument well enough to gather funds toward her next rent due. The mystery at leash partially solved. She is an individual struggling like many of us with her art. Of whoever playing it one might pleasure only so much listening to the accordion in duration. The video seems limited, a single viewpoint.

[victam]

I can't help but wonder what thoughts passed through her mind as she was serenading them with her art.

1:35 ahhh what a jerk!

[remminder0808]

Ugh, this video is too short!

[Utroll]

funny that she's playing Amelie, while she's somehow an Amelie... hope she'll go well thru decades

[bikefinders]

what alot of cheap people in that hole place

[melissaknowsbest]

@mastalim haha, that's not an insult...you heard right! that was gangsta's paradise (though i've since rearranged it, this video is over a year old. my neighbor recorded my new version a few months ago, albeit with epileptic camera work, you can find it in my favorites!) m.e.

[mastalim]

I hate to insult such a beautiful piece of music, but a part of it almost sounds like that song Gangsters Paradise. Very well played young lady, and kudos to her for having the guts to perform in such an environment!
