So this is pretty neat. World class classical violinist plays the Washington Metro [the subway] and people (mostly) don't care. The piece is well written, and after you've read it consider that in the Harvard Square stop on the T [the Boston subway] I used to occasionally see quite talented choir groups, violinists, flautists, etc.—even someone playing a harp, once—and I never gave any of them a dime, assuming in each case that I was looking at college students who were just underground enjoying the echoey acoustics and the absurdity of having their music completely crushed by the amazingly squealy trains.
