Violinist performs for cabbie
New Jersey cabbies are tapping their feet as the exquisite tones of a Grammy-nominated violinist fill the air at Newark Liberty International Airport.
About 200 cabbies have filled a parking lot next to a highway where trucks thunder past for Tuesday’s lunchtime concert performed by Philippe Quint to thank one honest driver.
Quint left his 285-year-old Stradivari in a taxi on a ride home from the airport last month. Driver Mohamed Khalil discovered the $4 million instrument and returned it to Quint.
