One of the finest violinists in the country... playing in a subwayMusic

[emad]

This guy typically charges about $1000 per minute to perform. He took his $3 million violin to a Washington public transit stop played some of the finest compositions ever made...and he only made $40 doing it. Follow the jump and check the article and some of the video.

Heck, I'd take $40 an hour like Bell was saying.

Good find, emad. Very interesting experiment, indeed. It reminded me of the time when I saw Gem Archer(guitar) and Andy Bell(bass) of the English band, Oasis, just walking through the crowd of people unnoticed. Yeah, they are not super famous or anything, but they were walking through the the concert hall where they were performing! I couldn't believe it.

You would imagine someone would take some time out of their lives to simply stand around and enjoy, but nooooo. Great find.
