In Harmony
“A particularly cold gust of wind lashed my hands and I had to flex my fingers on the bow to try to keep some feeling in them, without messing up Bach’s Cello Suite in D Minor.
It was still too cold to play in Central Park—not that it was too cold for us, because when you’re busking you expect to suffer, but it was too cold for there to be many passers-by. We’d only realized that after we arrived, though, and no one wanted to hump their instruments all the way home again, so we huddled under... trees that dripped freezing water down our necks, put out the collection hat and played. We’d agreed we’d stop when we hit fifty bucks, or when our fingers were too numb to play—whichever came first.
Playing for charity in Central Park was a Fenbrook tradition I’d started back in freshman year—at the time people thought I was some sort of golden-hearted do-gooder, but the truth is I was just looking for a way to meet people. It’s how I met Dan, who usually played violin with us.MoreLess
