Must be my time of the billing cycle.

Thanks for the link. It was a great story...something that I don't see
very often. Well written, researched and caused some good "serious"
debate at home.

Also sent me spending the first couple of hours looking up Bell & Bach.
I suppose it's the perk of working for me... (gotta make it up later
tonight, though...)

Glad you liked it. At first I thought it was just going to be "Duchamp's
Fountain Debate Redux", but then I found myself choked up at the thought of
the transience of all art but especially performed art, and all the
collective struggle and sacrifice that goes art that never sees the light of
day. Not new thoughts, surely, but it stopped me for a while today too.

Must be a Washington thing because I have many friends who play the subways
in NYC. Not Joshua Bell quality or anything but damn good musicians. On
average, during one 3 hr rush hour (oxymoron?) at a similarily busy subway
station, they routinely make about $20-30 an hour. For most it's a matter
of "hey if I'm going to practice today anyhow, why not practice in public
and make a few bucks".

But Bell said it best: "Actually," Bell said with a laugh, "that's not so
bad, considering. That's 40 bucks an hour. I could make an okay living doing
this, and I wouldn't have to pay an agent."

What's sad about that?

It's the people who aren't aware that he's even there... It's like Musak...
