In Europe the tradition of playing music to be appreciated in public is much greater, and people actually interact with the player. I saw this recently in Montreal too, where a street magician had about 200 people working with him on his show.

Being unconscious of these facts can lead to embarrassment or disaster. It requires critical thinking. Most US citizens seem to avoid critical thought. Thanks for the post.
