After a cold wet and windy weekend yesterday was the perfect spring day. In the city to check out 'this and that' I had an encounter of the delightful kind :) Walking along Hay St.. what was that I could hear? An accordion, and a trumpet! Yes it was.. a one handed trumpet at that! One man band extraordinaire Reef was entertaining passers-by with a mix of French, Italian, South American music with a bit of Beatles thrown in for good luck. Naturellement I put in a request for something français, it was a lovely moment on a spring day in the city, merci beaucoup Monsieur Reef! Happy Tuesday, take care and stay safe.. p.s. doesn't the lady in the orange dress look amazing!
Oh, you do find the fun things, Grace!! I love street musicians!! You surely couldn't miss the lady in the RED dress!! I love it! Thanks for the smiles to start my GRAY Monday!! Hope your week is off to a great start as well!!
ReplyDeleteTat scarf would fit in here today... 46 F right now.
ReplyDeleteThe other way round here, Grace - wonderful weather on the weekend, now grey, cold and rainy... didn´t even go to the city today. Never heard of a one handed trumpet!
ReplyDeleteHow amazing he can play the trumpet with ONE hand. I cannot do it with two hands and doubt I would be any better with three.
ReplyDeleteHe has a lot of fun. Hope the passersbies were generous.

Très chic en orange, oui. Like I said on Redpat's blog, sometimes I wish blogs had soundtracks...
ReplyDeletejammer dat dit steeds meer uit het straatbeeld verdwijnt.
ReplyDeleteI hope he did well, Grace!
ReplyDeleteUhm, I hate to say it, but the lady in orange caught my attention first. =^_^=
ReplyDeleteSerendipity. . .the best kind of encounter.
ReplyDeleteLady in orange would look quite at home on the streets of Paris.
ReplyDeletewhat a talent, and the lady in orange is making me feel like a bum!
ReplyDeleteA trumpet in one hand and the other hand tickling the ivories, now that takes talent.
ReplyDeleteHow cool! We used to have a sidewalk musician in our area, but the store managers near where he always played got him thrown out of the plaza. :-(
ReplyDeleteHow fun! He must be very talented to be able to play like that.
ReplyDeleteMy infant nephew is called "Reef" as well.
ReplyDeleteAnother fun scene from the magic city, brought by the magic elf!
Was that your stylish friend in orange?
Or YOU? Tres Chic
ReplyDeleteStreet musicians can be great fun. Had friends who would play music on the streets of San Francisco. They never made much money, but enough to pay the rent. (They were also very talented playing mostly Blue Grass music.) That's a stylish lady in the orange dress.
ReplyDeleteA man of many talents!
ReplyDeleteI never understand how people can play multiple instruments at one time. How do you compartmentalize your mind and muscles well enough to do that? (And, as you might imagine, I did immediately notice a potentially fine looking woman in orange at the edge of the photo.)
ReplyDeleteI agree with William.
ReplyDeleteFar better eye-hand coordination than I could muster.
ReplyDeleteWomen who orange dresses better know what they are doing.
That takes so much work and talent. I always admire folks than can stick with something difficult long enough to become an expert.
ReplyDeleteCan we see more of the woman in the red dress....?
ReplyDeleteIn Italy we have the same thing in some streets. Nice shots. I'm hearing this good music......Wish you a nice day. Kisses from Italy to Australia.
ReplyDeleteA multifunctional band by one man, great. The lady in orange seems to has come straight from the catwalk!
ReplyDeleteA great character. Lovely fresh spring-green leaves too, and am envious of that orange dress Grace ;-)
ReplyDeleteA multitalented man :-)
ReplyDeleteTalented man playing two instruments! Love that orange dress too.
ReplyDeleteIf only I had a tiny fraction of his musical talent.
ReplyDelete:) :) Yes, the lady in the orange dress is looking really amazing!

Very colorful wings. Hey! that trumpet player must have sounded quite good.
ReplyDeleteGreat snap of the musician.
