The Difference Between You and Your Boss
When you don't do it, you're lazy.
When your boss doesn't do it, he's too busy.

When you're out of the office, you're wandering around.
When your boss is out of the office, he's on business.

When you apply for leave, you must be going for an interview.
When your boss applies for leave, it's because he's overworked.

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

- William Henry Davies

But (about the incognito musician), I would be interested to hear which Joshua Bell found the most fulfilling ... playing to the Well-to-Do at a Boston theatre, or to the Great Unwashed as they hurried to begin their day in the Washington subway? Two completely different contexts, surely?

To my way of thinking, the "Fanfare for the Common Man"* wins every time!

* Look up Aaron Copland.

Keep the faith. Allow yourself the time to do anything and everything you do well. Or, put another way, if you're not seeking perfection, why carry on experimenting?

Do one thing at a time, and try to concentrate on whatever it is you are doing. Complete that task, then move on. You will still get things done (the stuff that matters, that is).

Thought of the day.

'How do you post so much Geoff :)'

Someone has to try to keep you lot jollied along, Billy!

Of course, the other conclusion that could be drawn is that the people were just in a hurry! Heaven forbid that they shouldn't stop to listen to a busker.

That said people are in too much of a hurry to get places. I'm constantly amazed at how Tube users cram onto trains. I wonder if I'm the only one aware there's another one due in two minutes.

I'm willing to bet if the guy was playing more popular classical music that the general public were more familiar with more people would have stopped too. Of course, classical music is one of those areas shrouded in snobbery (like wine) with 'experts' telling us what's good and bad and turning their noses up at anything so uncouth as to be popular amongst the riff raff. Or is that just my working class upbringing coming through?

Cold January morning, what if he had played in a park on a warm spring evening 'how many people would have stopped then'?
