There are two points to be made in this post, and they kind of go hand in hand. First, sometimes it just takes the right spin on a song to make it better. I don't really care for Taylor Swift's version of this song, but when these two violinists play, it's completely different. I mean, that's kind of obvious, but hopefully you'll understand what I'm trying to convey. The melody line is pretty good and translates well to strings.
The other point is how these two musicians are catching people's attention. They even get applause from some of the crowd waiting to board their train. I've played venues where people paid to get in and see us play and didn't receive applause from some of them. Music can really grab people if it's the right music, right place, and right time. On a side note, if a street performer is good enough to make you stop and listen, you owe him a dollar.
