-Played for 43 minutes.
-Over 1000 people walked by.
-The overwhelming majorty of the passerbys ignored the musician as he played.
-Only 27 people stopped and gave money
-Total of $32 and some change.

-A few days before Bell played in front of a packed room at Boston’s Symphony Hall
-Tickets were around $100 each.
