Street Musicians

In the past i never paid attention to street musicians in my city, or while travelling... i mean i do love music, different kinds, it is just that i never noticed street musicians or thought of them consciously, even when i stopped in the street to listen to their performance. But when i went to Paris, i guess my expectations were to hear typical french music everywhere in the streets, maybe because in every movie about France and especially about Paris you can hear this music:) anyway, my trip to Paris was in september, and it was not hot already, but i can't say that it was cold also, but surely it was very quiet, and at that moment i understood how street musicians are important... only when i felt their lack, i learned to appreciate their work. I should also admit that French melodic language was like a music for me, it is very captivating the way parisians speak, i guess when i finish to learn Italian language, the French one will be the next)))

At the end, i did find one street musician in Latin quarter, who played accordion, and it was like a balsam for the soul))) after that trip to Paris i promised myself that i will always give some money to the street musicians, whose performance i like, because if each person who likes the performance puts even a coin in a hat of musicians, they will never disappear from the streets, it is like to pay for listening to your favorite music when you walk in the streets:)
