Most people seem terrified to interact with strangers outside of employees. I was playing the guitar downtown for a couple months. Lots of people complimented and tipped, but only a handful stood nearby to listen. Only one stared at me in close proximity while I was playing.
While traveling, I've sat down and watched a bunch of different musicians play through a few songs.
I was kind of bummed by their lack of enthusiasm. Maybe I just sucked, but the few moments with me sure seemed like it would be more interesting than whatever they probably had planned over the next hour.
My sister gets weirded out because I talk to strangers all the time. I'll talk to anyone about anything.
I also sat and listened to a busker in Paris play guitar for like an hour. I sat down near him against the wall, and just listened. After about 20 minutes, he looked over and said, "You like music?" I said yes, and he continued to play.
