Many times people met on the subway who play musical instruments. Usually good people play good music. For example, a guitar with a violin or a saxophone. In general, nice and even small things do not mind. Only now I wonder, is it legal? Do you think I can just go and play in the subway, she took the money on the roof, did not ask? It seems to me that this is not legal, because musicians do not pay taxes. Lifestyle Russians often use the subway. Perhaps he even has his own novel. However, in everyday turmoil, it is difficult to catch. But this is not the reason not to offer this form of transport on a pedestal. I think it would be great if such events were not involved, but would meet more often. For professional musicians playing - it would be a certain color and attracted more people to our city. In the capitals of European musicians, playing legally. In Paris, street minstrels and troubadours are forced to issue a special license for performances in public transport, so you can see the violinist in the subway or by bus, a common thing. In Geneva, street musicians pass an exam for professionalism, but in Berlin you have to pay rent for a place, however, popular musicians earn up to 500 euros a day. Even if the musician plays illegally, law enforcement officers treat him kindly if he plays well and makes people happy, and if the place is for tourists, they are interested in creating a mood. Therefore, I do not mind, most importantly, that it does not violate the rights of citizens!
