"Unsilent Night"- Boom Box Christmas Parade in NYC 2009

A musical holiday parade! "In what is now a holiday rite, Phil Kline's boombox Christmas parade starts working its way eastward from Washington Square Park as the amplified drones and chimes and bells echo off buildings, stop traffic, baffle passers-by and encourage taxi horns to chime in. The 44-minute electronic Christmas carol is a slippery, swirling blizzard of sound that is the soundtrack to 'Unsilent Night,' an event that began in New York in 1992 and has become a seasonal classic in 15 other cities, from Australia to the Yukon."
