Labor Day Weekend, 2004

 

Music Box Ladies
These women were fantastic. They were standing absolutely still in the middle of the concourse. If you pushed the red girl's button, she bowed mechanically and sang the first verse to "Greensleeves." The black and white girl sang a different song, I forget what. The best part: if you pushed both of their buttons, they sang "I've Got a Loverly Bunch of Coconuts." It was clearly a very carefully rehearsed gig--if one was singing and you hit the other's button, they would both immediately launch into "Coconuts" without missing a beat. If one was singing and you pushed her button again, she cut off with another mechanical bow and subsided to her "off" state. I could have watched them for hours.
