Reasons I love living in NYC: random street music under my window
Someone on the street near me just started playing some kind of woodwind that I don't recognize, and playing it really well. 

Could be a recorder.  It has a clear piping sound, not like the breathy tone of panpipes; the notes are individual, not continuous the way a flute sounds.  It's too high for an oboe or, I think, a clarinet.

Whatever.  I really like it.

Yay, New York!!!  You rock!

[Update, some time later:  Also, a blue helium balloon just soared past my 15th-floor window.  A minute later, a yellow one went after it, moving fast as though calling "Wait for me!"  Often, I get to watch plastic grocery bags soaring on the updrafts...they frequently go well above my eyeline.  It's cool. :>]

Possibly a penny whistle?

Maybe. Can't be sure, because I've never heard a penny whistle (that I'm aware of, anyway).

Funny, we had a black balloon drift by our window today. Great. Now I'm paranoid.
