So I have to admit that as much as Maine has to offer, we are probably not the epicenter of culture.  For instance, when my brother started talking about Joshua Bell, I had no idea that he was referring to a man who unquestionably is one of, if not the, best violinists in the world.  Anyway, he told me a great story about Mr. Bell, who about 3 years ago, agreed to be planted as a busker in the DC subway station to see if uninformed passerby’s would stop and listen to this unique talent (typically commanding $1,000 per minute) playing his $3.5 million Stradivari for one hour.  Gene Weingarten of the Washington Post writes a fascinating piece of what happened.   I don’t want to give it away because it is worth a read.  Read it here.   I know, this is perhaps old news now, but hey, maybe some others culturally deprived readers may have missed the story and can enjoy it now.  Maybe we can add a little culture around your waist too!  Check out our Guitar Fret design at the Belted Cow Company.
