As we were walking home from school today, I heard the sounds of a violen from the distance. The sounds led me to a tall man, dressed in a baggy suit, slowly playing his violin, producing a beautiful tune. He wore a look of sorrow in his eyes, but never changed the expression on his face as he moved and swayed with the melody of his music. I saw two passer byers drop a couple of coins in his violin case to show the appreciation of his music. He nodded to show his gratitude, and continued playing. Ironically he was playing the song, Hava nagila, a well known jewish song that is often played at bar mitzvah's. I have been told that he is often at the exact place, at the same time every day...so I will have to check tomorrow!
