[Leica] OT: Josh Bell, subway busker

[reid at mejac.palo-alto.ca.us (Brian Reid)]

One of my brothers spent a number of years busking in Washington DC when he 
was young. Now he makes his living as a musician, but plays on the street 
occasionally, just for fun. He read this article with great interest. His 
primary comment was that talent is context dependent: he was sure that if he 
had been there instead of Joshua Bell, he could have "pulled a crowd" and 
made them stop and listen. He wouldn't call himself more talented than 
Joshua Bell, just more capable of succeeding in that 
situation there in the subway.
