Three days before he appeared at the Metro station, Bell had filled the house at Boston's stately Symphony Hall

Somewhere there is a place where people don't need to be told when something is beautiful.
We don't live there, apparently.

We already found out for ourselves the hard way.
We didn't realize until recently that few hearts and eyes and ears are actually connected.
But it still hurts to see it in the article and video below.
There are enough nails in the coffin of the arts that there is no more room to pound in any more.

So that's why when we find that rare, connected person, it's a special event.

A onetime child prodigy, at 39 Joshua Bell has arrived as an internationally acclaimed virtuoso.
Three days before he appeared at the Metro station, Bell had filled the house at Boston's stately Symphony Hall,
where merely pretty good seats went for $100.
