    Does this say something about the job prospects for violinists?

    That's awesome. Nicely captured.

    Out of work musician? If he keeps that up may also soon be out of his current job. Not making fares like that is he?

    When working I had to take a bus and endured copious amount of 'moron music.' I think the gentleman with the violin plays a more 'sophisticated' type of music. Great shot.

    Could be, or maybe he's just an aspiring musician.

    Tony, thank you for commenting.

    Agreed. The job market is pretty tough now adays.

    Mark, thank you for commenting.

    It's the first time I noticed anyone playing a musical instrument in their cab. He may just be fiddling away the time while he waits on his fare.

    Dan, thank you for commenting.

    Driving while playing the fiddle would be quite a feat and something to see (albeit a dangerous one).

    Richard, thank you for commenting.

    I'm sure he would be delighted to hear that. He did play very well. At first I thought it was music from a radio.

    Ole, thank you for commenting.

    Thank you, Greg. I was lucky to be there at the right time. I'll have to check next time I go by to see if he's a regular.

    Dave, thank you. I must say I was pretty intrigued by him playing in his cab.
