Really? I found it rather interesting, and found myself wondering how it would have turned out with a different genre of music.
I think I was mostly put off by the writer's world-weary tone, as if it could be expected that one person in five hundred to recognize Joshua Bell during rush hour at a metro stop. Was he really shocked? Did he really expect that his readers would be?
