Hey thanks Abacus for posting! I always am enamoured by street musicians and have done it a time or two myself. Here is the actual article from the Washington Post with a short video:

It is indeed an interesting read. The acoustics were great for him where he performed. But having gone through the Metro station a whole lot of times, I am not surprised folks just kept moving. That's the DC way of life. A shame for sure.

Thanks again for the post...although I'm way down in the minor leagues, I'm going to feel better now when I play a kewl song in an environment where everyone is focused on other priorities.
