What do you picture when you think of a musician playing with a case open for change? Someone with a clever T-shirt who says "dude" a lot?Oh, ye of limited imagination. The latest trend is to be a classical violinist-turned-busker, hip-hopping from life with the London Mozart Players and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to a corner near you.
OK, it's actually a trend of one. Violinist David Juritz is currently traveling away on what he bills as "a 60,000-mile busk around the world." So far he's played in Stockholm, Sydney, Singapore and many other places that do not begin with S.

David says his goal is to raise money for Musequality, a London-based organization that brings music to underprivileged people. Y'all can catch a glimpse of him locally this week. He's scheduled to play outside Tresidder Union at Stanford University this Friday from noon to 1.
