Happy weekend! BUSKING The Washington Post performed an “experiment,” asking Joshua Bell, one of our time’s premier concert violinists, to play in a Washington subway station, wearing a baseball cap (for authenticity) and playing a Stradivarius. Only one person noticed who Bell was and gave $20. Only $37 was collected by other passers-by, who largely ignored him. This is only a couple of minutes long. Watch the woman who comes in at 1:30:
I’m a huge Josh Bell fan!
