Singing makes shopping even more enjoyable
This morning at the Saturday morning fruit and vegetable market, we were greeted by some singing.
It was a beautiful day but the singing just added an extra skip to my step. I actually stopped for a few minutes and soaked in the music. He sang so well.
So here's a picture of the entertainer who made my shopping experience a happier one.
Not a great picture but then it's about the moment not the photography!
This is the moment
This is the time
When the momentum and the moment
Are in rhyme
Give me this moment
This momentous moment ...

A single photo capturing a moment
A simple, special, extraordinary moment
A moment I want to pause, savour and remember
Ooo what song was he singing?
ReplyDeleteYou say it best, when you say nothing at all - that's the one I stopped to listen.
DeleteI love buskers!
ReplyDeleteYep, they're fun to listen to and watch.
DeleteI can relate to your 'extra skip to my step' on listening to that wonderful song... music has that kind of effect on you. Plato had said music gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.
ReplyDeleteIt sure does Shilpa - and nice quote - thanks.
DeleteSinging makes my day as well and my voice could make everyone else's night.....mare :D

oh lol - witty as ever PhenoMenon.
DeleteI love it when real human beings are making music (as opposed to the canned stuff we sometimes get from machines in the street.
ReplyDeleteMe too Viv. And he sang real well too.
DeleteThere's almost nothing--nothing I can think of, anyway--that isn't improved with a little song.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that ever so true. Thanks for dropping by.
DeleteSinging during shopping . Wow Thats some thing :)
ReplyDeleteMust have made the atmosphere more fun !
It did Afshan. Brought a smile to my face.
Deleteah, such a good moment. the power of song.
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy - it was.
DeleteMusic uplifts you anytime, anywhere. I am so glad this guy added some sunshine to your day by his song :)
ReplyDeleteHe sure did Bhavya - I enjoyed his singing - he had a great voice.
DeleteA moment to stand still and simply enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I felt and did. For a few minutes I just stopped and listened.
DeleteSounds like a wonderful day! There's something so uplifting about music.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Saturday. ☺
Thanks Dana. Music always puts me in a happy mood.
DeleteWhat a beautiful way to shop! Music is the spice of life!
ReplyDeleteI agree - it was nice.
DeleteHow nice to have live music to buy vegetables to! :)
ReplyDeleteIt was Corinne. It's the first time I've seen him since I started going (about 6 weeks) so I hope he'll be there again.
DeleteExactly what I was thinking Corinne...one would love to buy veggies like every alternate day then :)
ReplyDeleteTrue Kajal except that the market is a little too far to go more than weekly.
DeleteMusic make everything better!
ReplyDeleteIt sure does Tonya. Thanks for visiting and I hope music makes your change easier.
DeleteMusic at the farmer's market? That does sound cool!
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll take a "moment" to come by my little corner of the world...

Yep it was pretty cool. Thanks Sofia for visiting. have dropped by your blog.
DeleteIt is always good to take the time to stop and listen. Our farmer's market often as entertainment as well. I always enjoy it when I get there.

Hi Mlissabeth - I couldn't help but stop shopping for a few minutes and listen. It was so nice.
DeleteYes, that certainly does add to the experience and create a lovely mood.
ReplyDeleteHi Rosemary - yes certainly improved my mood hugely.
DeleteVery cool! I love that song. Music is so important to me. There is ALWAYS a song running through my head!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cyndy - I'm always humming too. In fact the song that kept playing in my mind after listening to him was "I Will" by the Beatles - And when at last I find you, your song will fill the air, sing it loud so I can hear you ..."
DeleteSinging, dancing, music....like vitamins in our lives!
ReplyDeleteSo true blogitse - I like the idea of these being vitamins. :)
DeleteFresh market and live music? Sounds like a great way to start the day.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tara - I look forward to my Saturday morning market round. It is a great way to start the day.
