I'm going to Bost in a few weeks - hope they are still busking!! I'll write a busker sighting blog. Well, I guess it was not Joshua Bell then. ;-)

One time at my home subway station, a trio of older amateur players were busking for fun. They noticed that I was probably lugging a violin and invited me to join them. I was running rather late to work and had only just started to learn, so had to decline. If I come across them again (and am not in a rush for work), maybe I will join them for some fun though it would have to be some rather simple pieces for this amateur beginner. :-p

Funny, I was a bit late to work this morning as well (I walk to work) and, as one of those days, I had my violin with me because I'd have my violin lesson after work. I didn't see any busker though, too early in the morning for this quiet town, but I wonder if I would stop and play along had there been a group playing the kind of music that I could join in. I might, if I don't have a 9 am meeting waiting for me.

Here in Victoria, BC, we get quite a few buskers in the summer. Once in a while, I hear some really good violin playing in the afternoon or weekends. Now I'll pay more attention when I walk by, as you never know, it could be Bell, or better, ASM for a change:)
