Acoustic Musicians No Longer Welcome in Washington Square Park

Can’t a lone saxaphonist play music in Washington Square Park anymore?   Those seeking to quell spontaneous public expressions from what was once a vibrant public space would have it so.  There are those (conservancy advocates) who would insist that one will need a permit to sing in the park.  I’m glad that Gabriel Zucker of The Villager wrote a good investigative article about it.
