making beautiful music together

Saturday evening, we were just hanging around at home watching something on television.  We live on a rather loud street; there are crazy college kids, the "L" (Chicago's train), and sirens that can make it difficult to leave your windows open on a lovely fall evening.  So, like I said, we were just sitting around watching TV when I heard something that made me want to examine the source further.

I walked to my terrace and looked down, and saw this:

There was an amazing gathering of musicians right below us playing the most beautiful and joyous music.  It was like something that I would see in a movie, only it was happening right there....just a few feet below me.  

They were singing and playing and drinking wine, and it was just the most beautiful thing to witness.  

I was aware that our downstairs neighbor, Paul, played the piano, but I didn't know that he also played the accordion.
All I know is that I hope Paul makes this a monthly gathering...at least!  There were even people on their balconies across the street enjoying and applauding the show.
Take a peek and a listen...
