) 20. O.T. Joshua Bell at L'Enfant Plaza (Michael Cook)
Sometimes when I hit a slow period in performing for my usual paying clientele, usually in the bleak midwinter between New Year's day and Valentine's day, the thought crosses my mind of taking a guitar or a keyboard down to the metro to maybe try to earn a few bucks. I have never done it, and after seeing what happened with Joshua Bell, I likely never will. It is a very interesting article and a sad commentary on our inability to appreciate the beauty all around us. We are so absorbed in completing our appointed rounds that we lose our childlike openness of spirit. I think this is a very unusual and interesting article. Thanks for sharing the link. I don't know why but I was unable to copy and paste the link because it wrapped in my email client (MS Outlook). I could only reach the washington post section up to the date 04/04/ and had to manually type the rest of the link. I'm glad I did. Steve Farrell -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
