revmusings

Popped into town to pay a cheque into the bank and found a European Food Market - excellent to wander round, smell lots of different aromas. It was like being in France or Spain though I am not sure Peru and Asia is in Europe but both were represented.

At one end were some street performers playing South American panpipes just to add the the atmosphere.

This reminded me of a blog I read this morning -  Geoff Colmer has asked what music moves you? (the hymn- I cannot tell - always makes me cry)

This panpipe music always moves me - it makes me smile for it is the music of the land of my birth but it also makes me cry as I have no memories of my country as I was only a baby when I came to UK. So how is it that this music moves me so much and stirs such a strong longing to go back - can infant memories of such music really stay in the sub-conscious and have such a deep effect?

One day I hope to return.....
