If Joshua Bell, dressed in normal clothes and wearing a Washington
Nationals baseball cap, were to play outside your local subway station,
would you even recognize him?  Would many passers-by?  Would you or they
give him money?  Click the link below for an absolutely fascinating

   in you get a "not found" error.  Persevere though, and you will
   be rewarded.  Fascinating article.  -Dave]
