It was in a subway station. What do we know about subway stations.... People are there to catch trains. Ta da! They take the train to other places they have to go, like work or school. A lot of people wear their MP3s so they would not even hear the music, and not all those there are into classical music. Hell, I bet there were some people who wished he'd knock it off, but were simply too polite to bother. Sure he plays to $100 a ticket sold out concert halls, how many of those people take the subway? <br /><br />In fact I bet if he had worn a sign about him being a world class musician he would get about as much recognition from these people. We make time for the things we find beauty in. But I would not stop my day for my favorite band. Buy tickets, yes. Arrange to see them yes. But I don't think in explaining why I am late for work to my boss "there was this guy playing the violin so beautifully" is gonna wash as an excuse.jamiessmileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150972137054126110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907897020139231814.post-53371500511179514182012-03-08T10:38:42.406-05:002012-03-08T10:38:42.406-05:00I wrote about this a while ago after seeing it on ...I wrote about this a while ago after seeing it on the news (you can find the video on YouTube). I never understood how people can walk past live music, especially if it's playing well and we legitimately have a few moments to spare :)Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00570885191712211971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907897020139231814.post-13487403060041950792012-03-08T09:48:47.052-05:002012-03-08T09:48:47.052-05:00Wow.. that's deep.
