Street musicians


In some way they are the truest artists. Let's find interesting people performing out in the open.
I'll start with this:

Most have probably already read this old story and seen the video, but in case not, check it out. Joshua Bell plays the subway.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; obviously, he was playing the wrong music for that audience, and they were hoping he would quit screeching on that fiddle.

If he were Jean Luc Ponty, or Ray Nance; or maybe even one of those Blue Grass fiddlers like on "The Beverly Hill Billies", they might have stopped. For what is music from heaven to some, is noise to others.
He did not play that piece well. Had I been there I would've stopped but not for long. He is obviously a very good musician but probably just not used to playing on streets. As a result his performance made little impression. Besides, it was quite early in the morning, most people were not in the mood for a violin music.
