Joshua Bell the best violinist of our time played incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment.
Mr. Bell made $32 from 27 of the approximately 1,097 people who walked passed. Only one passerby recognized him. Is concert at the Boston Symphony Hall three days before sold out with fairly good seats selling for $100. Really I get the experiment was timed while people were rushing to work. I always leave for work early. That way traffic or distractions would not be a problem. I could relax and enjoy life.
I wonder why people didn't have a moment to stop and
listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing some of the best music
ever written? Just a moment to take it all in. How many other things are we missing?
