Performed by Thoth & Dominic Del Principe on Sept 1 2008 in NYC Central Park's 'Angel Tunnel' at Bethesda Terrace, near the boathouse behind the fountain. You've seen it a million times in various movies. Look on the handy little 'Date and Map' thing youtube has thoughtfully provided(below this video).Anyway, Thoth does a prayformance 3-6PM and then Dominic chimes in after 6PM. This video is Thoth and Dominic playing 'Sovereign Twin', a great song. One of many. The crowd gathers, and then they play.
It's all there on the video, except for the parts where saps walked in front of the camera. It's not like there isn't room to walk around the other side, I mean you can see other people walking behind in the video. Thank god for home video editing.
Anyway, more videos to cum. I mean 'come'; you know, as in 'soon to post'.
Gotta edit out all the saps, you know. Good excuse to fill in with pictures of the walls and ceiling decor of Angel Tunnel and local environs, flora and fauna. And the Ken Burns effect.
It was Thoth who I heard call the place 'Angel Tunnel' and it's an apt nickname. It's probably really called 'Bethesda Hole' or something, I don't know, it's on some plaque down there. I'll read it and post the 'official' name in the next video, fyi. Meanwhile, it's 'Angel Tunnel' so just think of it as that.

This is a very good song, and evidently these two seem to be remarkable musicians. A friend of mine was recently in New York and he was telling me about these guys who played in a tunnel that goes under the road near that fountain, and one guy looks like an Aztec/Egyptian warrior and is really good on the violin. I guess it's these guys. Good song.
