The 20th annual auditions for Music Under New York are scheduled for Tuesday at Grand Central. From 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., a panel of judges will select their favorite acts and award official subway musician status, allowing the performers to play with amplified music and hang a large banner up behind them. About 70 musicians and groups will perform, making Grand Central's Vanderbilt Hall sound a bit more like Carnegie Hall for the day. -- Justin Rocket Silverman

I follow the blog of my favorite subway musician, the 'Saw Lady' (I usually see her play at Times Square). She talks about what happens in the subway while she plays there. She bloged about the Music Under NY audition from her unique point of view (she has been working at the audition for many years): http://www.SawLady.com/blog
