Virtuoso Joshua Bell in a DC metro station

Really neat Washington Post article about what happens when you drop one of the world’s greatest violinists into a busy metro station and let him play for 45 minutes. The result is probably “predictable”, but it’s worth reading for the interviews of the passerbys alone. I found the comment on how children *always* stopped and wanted to listen fascinating as I’ve seen my boy do the same thing with street musicians, and it’s a good reminder to just follow his lead when something gets his attention. Kids just seem to have a knack for recognizing and appreciating beauty.
