If a musician plays and no one hears...
Wow. This is a fine fascinating social commentary on our rushed lives.
How many of us would stop to listen if a world class musician were playing unannounced and incognito? Violinist Joshua Bell participates in the test for the Washington Post. Article by Gene Weingarten.
This is one of the most insightful articles I've read in a long time. I guarantee it's worth the read.

There is a great response to the Joshua Bell article by a NYC subway musician in her blog: www.SawLady.com/blog
She interprets the situation differently from the Washington Post reporters... I thought you might find it interesting.
Thanks for the link. I appreciate the perspective regarding Bell perhaps being a less than experienced busker.
