That article on Bell was tooooo long for me to read all of it but I think the experiment say more about us than him. I love Bell's playing and I'm sure I'd have enjoyed what I heard - but I might still have walked past! I'm glad someone recognised brilliance.
Yum! One of my favourite musicians!

ReplyDeleteI've never been a big fan of the sitar but that combination worked very well.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love the intensity on her face. Is that Ravi Shankar playing drums? I'm heading to iTunes...this is one I want. Thanks Rall!
ReplyDeleteNo. Her father is very old now but stil plays the sitar.
ReplyDeleteDon’t know whether you will be amused or apalled by Joshua Bell playing for tips in Washington DC.
ReplyDeleteDon't be fooled..most of us still have tails and are not walking upright!
