Joshua Bell playing in the subway

Cool. This older news, but I am glad I clicked on it anyway, I had never read that full article.
$32 is on the low end of what I'd get with a duo playing at the train station in Oakland. We'd get between $30-120 playing at BART each day. We played Mingus and Ornette mostly. Four or Five days of it would be an amount that could pay a bill, certainly get solid dinner, it was earlier than any gig. I'd often do it on the way to a gig.

Anyway, if you have not read this whole article it is worth it!

 

Who is Joshua Bell?

 

Great article, thanks Chuck Norriss.

 

Who is Stick Player?

 

Who is damonsmith?

 

Yeah kind of like that one Wooten person. No one important.

 

Not a stick player.

 

Edgar Meyer might be more like it on the double bass side. Although Stick Player would probably like to play with Future Man.

 

Who is Edgar Meyer?

Who is Future Man?

But I do have one of these for sale:

 

Whilst I didn't find the playing all that extraordinary(mind you, it was a subway performance), I enjoyed the article very much!
Thanks for sharing!

 

That banjo is really sharp...
