How Would You React To Greatness?

HERE is the link to the Washington Post article that I mentioned in the sermon today regarding Joshua Bell and his "concert" at the DC Metro station. Fascinating stuff.

Here's the first paragraph:
HE EMERGED FROM THE METRO AT THE L'ENFANT PLAZA STATION AND POSITIONED HIMSELF AGAINST A WALL BESIDE A TRASH BASKET. By most measures, he was nondescript: a youngish white man in jeans, a long-sleeved T-shirt and a Washington Nationals baseball cap. From a small case, he removed a violin. Placing the open case at his feet, he shrewdly threw in a few dollars and pocket change as seed money, swiveled it to face pedestrian traffic, and began to play.
