Today, I was saw a short video clip about an famous violinist Josha Bell's especial experiences that he playing violin in the metro station about 15mins. this vedio recorded in a busy time. People just walk around. They did not found an famous violinist perform in front of them. They do not care who is playing. Some people threw the money to him. When he played about 3mins. A girl recognize that is Josha Bell. And she talk to him about his CD recording.
When i watching this short vedio. I think in America, it is a common thing that people used to see some performer present in front of them. Especially on the street or in some merto stations.And in America the street performer always have high standard. I know a interested thing. In america, if people want to perform on the street. They must attend to a job competition then you can gain a place for play or sing on the street. That is not easy, Especially for classical music, it needs to present in a good place. Not on the street or metro station.

I'd certainly agree with you that the location of the experiment had a big part to play in the results. During the morning rush hour, most people would simply be trying to get to work on time, and are probably preoccupied with their own thoughts to pay too much attention to the young violinist. Maybe some didn't even register that there was a violinist there!
