A really fascinating article in the WaPo about what happened on January 12 when world renown violist Joshua Bell played music in the L'Enfant Plaza Metro station in Washington DC during the morning rush hour commute.
He played several of the most difficult and beautiful works for solo violin on his $3.5 million dollar 1713 Stradivari violin.
To read what happened, go here. There are also 4 video clips highlighting the story.
HT: Deceptively Simple.
Blogs writing about this article.
BTW: Joshua Bell made $32.17 in 43 minutes.
Here is the online chat with the writer of the story.
Rambling about soccer: LA Galaxy, IF Elfsborg, Falkenbergs FF, Liverpool FC, Queens Park Rangers, and LAFC. Also random rambling about Star Trek, LA sports (Dodgers, UCLA, Kings, Lakers, Rams), politics (centrist), faith (Christian), and life. Send comments to rrblog[at]yahoo[dot]com.
