There was a nice article in the Washington Post t'other day (I don't read it as a matter of course: someone posted a link at The Session) about what happens when you set a world class classical musician to busk at a Metro station at rush hour. Nothing is proven really, but the description of the reactions (or lack thereof) from the general public are interesting, as are the thoughts of the musician himself.

Hi Rob, I read that article the other day. Joshua Bell is the first musician who made me go and buy a recording of something I already had because I liked the way he played it. But, mentioning it to a violinist at church on Sunday, he said he'd have been one of the people who walked straight past because he doesn't like Bell's style at all.
I guess it's like fine wine and chocolate and stuff. Connoisseurs have their peculiar likes and dislikes but most people are happy with Blosson Hill and Dairy Milk.
