Study: Violin Dude makes $0.17 every time you walk by

Here are the results of the Violin Dude Compensation Study we kicked off before abandoning you for a week. Our research shows that the Violin Dude's total take for the study period was 17 cents per respondent. Also, the giving was clustered -- just 14% of CHS neighbors surveyed report dropping money in his case in the previous month. Turns out, neighborhood violin playing is nearly as profitable as neighborhood blogging.
