Andrew sent this when I was at Michael‘s yesterday. We curled up in his chair together, aghast, seriously wishing there were more video. My obscure reaction? How dangerous it must feel to play The Red Violin in a subway station. (The article’s a bit long, but only because the author’s obviously very passionate.)
Today it’s on Neat-o-rama:
Internationally-known violinist Joshua Bell played busker at a Metro station in Washington, DC during morning rush hour recently. It was an experiment to see if anyone would recognize him, recognize the talent behind the music, or would drop money in his case. What do you think happened? The results may surprise you. The cover story in today’s Washington Post Magazine includes videos of the experiment. Link
