For music in my corner of the world, let me take you to St. Augustine. The "Old City" attracts all kinds of colorful street musicians and live music in the park.
There are guitar playing folk singers:
A one-man-band:
A giant leprechaun, singing old Irish songs:
and one weekend there was this guy:
We arrived too late to see him dance, but he was happy to strike a pose the second he saw my camera pointed at him.
Soon after I snapped the picture above, a Reggae band started playing in the bandstand and this old lady came up on the stage in front of the band and started dancing. I don't think I'll ever have that kind of nerve, but I hope I still have that much energy when I am her age.
Even closer to home, I have purchased a homeschool curriculum for this coming school year, that recommends a kinderlyre (child's harp) as the musical instrument that second graders should learn to play.
We haven't tried to learn how to play it properly yet, but Blaze has been playing with it since it arrived last week.

Lisa ;)
This is so cool. I'd have enjoyed seeing this kind of street entertainment going on.
fantastic! it´s amazing the variety of music that is around you! fun! besos-jane
That's a great video! I wouldn't have the nerve to get up there either but I love reggae so I'm sure I'd be swaying at the back of the crowd!
Looks like a great day of music. Your little one and his harp is adorable. xoxo
Great photo's!
Lovely to go to a festival with many musicans, performances, food and lots of (funny) people.
i love the one-man-band!!!
Oh, I LOVE those photos! Very nice!
A lady dancing reggae in a stage! That sounds like me!
The one man band seemed so great! I think that requires more nerve than dancing reggae :D (I am challenged in both playing music and dancing, good thing it doesn't stop me from doing it!)
i like music on the streets. here in zurich it's not aloud to play music in the streets. what a pity. we've also a kinderlyre at home. the great thing is, that you don't have to know exactly how to play - it sounds always good ;-)
Wow! That is quite a variety! I've always thought St. Augustine is so charming!
Great pictures!! Looks like a great day of music to me!! Love the one man band!!
Happy Day!
you are in heaven. all this in one little town.
wow a great post. The Kinderlyre is amazing :) I love your blog and would love to do a link exchange with you.
Peace,Love and light,
