I read this without realizing it was by Gene until I finished it! I didn't know Gene was a Joshua Bell fan. That's awesome! I've seen Mr. Bell in concert, he's fantastic. I mean if you are into violin music you are probably a fan of Joshua Bell, but I have never heard Gene mention classical music as one of his hobbies or passions or whatever. He seems quite knowledgeable in this article, unless he was just repeating what Mr. Bell told him. Also Rachel Manteuffel, she of the large breasts, contributed to the article. Very cool. It's not written humorously at all. I realize his feature stories often aren't, but usually there is some humor in there somewhere. This is all about appreciating the world around you and what happens when you are presented with something valuable out of context. This is a great article.
