Came across this story from the Washington Post, which I believe was published yesterday in their Sunday Magazine, that I found fascinating.Seems there was an experiment conducted this past January in the DC subway system during a normal weekday commute. What would happen when a world famous classical violinist, Joshua Bell, played for spare change in the subway station, using a Stradavarius violin, delivering some of the most beautiful classical music?
Would people notice? Would a crowd gather? Would people stop in their morning commute to enjoy something of exquisite beauty? What do you think?
Check it out here. And, if you go to this page, you can hear the performance from the subway tunnel, too.

Didn't read your link yet, but I imagine most new yorkers would just snarl!
