Music is such a powerful thing. Walking across the park on my way into the city after work my attention immediately switched to a brass band that suddenly started up. It was a dress rehearsal for a performance that was part of the Chinese New Year celebrations. My mood was suddenly uplifted. Unfortunately I don't know what the song was but it is quite a famous one. It goes "Da da da da da da da, da da da da da da". Ok, you're never going to get it but I'm hoping if I hum it to someone that might know (Nat, if you're reading this, my bet is on you!). I stood and watched the dancers and band. It's amazing how fast music can change your mood.
I had a second musical experience after my shopping trip (I didn't find a wedding outfit sadly). There was a busker outside Zara, he was fantastic on the guitar. The sort of person who always draws a crowd. I watched a child looking up at him as he played. By the look of it they had a bit of a moment so I thought i'd try and capture it in a photo. It pains me to upload all of these photos that would normally just be throw away ones but I'm trying to stick to my photo a day and in the days, weeks and months that follow hopefully i'll be able to upload photos that i'm proud of.
Great pic... love seeing kids captivated by music, reinforces what a force music is indeed.
