accordion, violin
street band
down the window
let their song
climb in
tease our ears
& give it
a ride, from
corner of our
mouths til
sunsets tide
What can you say in 160 characters? go tell monkey man.

You know if you keep your face smiling that long it may get stuck in that position.
Finding music as we walk in the streets just fills us with so much joy and butterflies. The song stays till we hear something else which is equally joyful.
Joy and more joy,
Susan
Lovely flash in time. I have a picture I took of a street trumpeter in passing. Musicians fascinate me.
you can't beat live music! and finding it in unexpected places makes for a happy day. have a good one
A wonderful joyful moment!
Nice rhythm in this piece, Brian!
Street bands to get your feet tapping and put a smile on your face!

I adore street musicians. It's unfortunate I have to travel to Charleston, Asheville or Atlanta to experience the joy of the "rhythm of the street".
I love live music...and on the street even better...what a treat for you...glad that it put a big smile on your faces. Safe travels. Happy Sunday to you and yours Brian.
Glad you both are having a great time. We are having a great time with the boys also. I agree with 5th Sister, it is sad that we have to travel to hear "rhythm of the street". Looking forward to going to Asheville in the spring to experience the joy.
Cool. The flow is awesome on this one.
Have a safe trip!
Really and truly love this. Thank you for the Sunday morning smile.
You got the rhythm! Thanks
Have a safe trip back.;) I agree with you on the sentiments of street musicians.;))

that's something you don't see much outside the big cities.
A little Down On the Corner by CCR? That's what comes to mind reading your 160. I wonder how many people drove the same way as you and didn't even hear the music because they are just to "busy with life".
Brian,hi I love listening to street bands. I am going to read all your posts I have missed. I missed your writings. smiles.
That's probably the best thing about living in New Orleans. We have music and dancing in the streets every day. :)
Music filled street always bring joy to the heart.

I'm feeling the beat. ;-)
Loved the rhythm and flow - I could hear the band perfectly!
I've got music. . .
I've got rythm. . .
I've got my. . . Gal. . .
Who could ask for anything more!
Love this one.
That was really neat! loved it!
This reminds me of State Street in Madison. Except it's closed to through traffic.
Hello Brian,
You have conveyed so much joy and happiness in just a few words.
To day I say a band playing music for the noble purpose of collecting money for a poor little girl who is to be operated for cancer.
Best wishes,
Joseph
I'm far enough out I don't get to hear street music very often. Sometimes when we go into Phoenix for a game or something. I'm smiling just reading about it. :)
"Down the window/let the song/climb in"
That's a wonderful image, Brian!
We drove by a cellist a few weeks ago, heard his music and stopped go take in the solitary concert. Best $5 I had spent in some time. Thanks for playing along with the Sunday 160, Brian.
You are right Brian ...I see you walking the "Beat" doing the two step to the music in the street. You are in perfect rhythm to the one clear pure note sending your positive vibe to the atmospheric blog beat generation.

Hope you had a good weekend. Kinda partial to buskers myself. It's Sydney Festival time at the moment and there's plenty to see.
Love to come across street bands - it makes my day.
I can picture the scene. Closing my eyes, I can almost hear it myself.
I like the rhythm in this writing, I'm tapping my fingers while reading ;)
How delightful, Brian. I heard a street musician today and well, shall we say, he had lots of guts? Yelling out his songs on guitar. not that great but braving the cold nonetheless. Still, it was better than nothing.
great write dude, love the song:)
keep letting their songs climb in...
hope you had a great weekend away. i always love the street music, especially the good ones, i hear in the subway! xxoo
love it...keep the music playing and enjoy every moment of happiness....nice...bkm
Thank you for sharing your joyful moment...it reminded me of a phenomenal band of musicians I once heard when walking through the streets of N'Orleans
Bring your nickel, tap your feet...
I enjoy it when a street musician is playing outside my local coffee shop.
Such good relaxation
finding rhythm with the street.
yep, you'll find it there for sure.

Ah - wonderful moment of music so aptly described!
a pretty little ditty. Thank you for the offered smiles. Glad the followed you along. :)
I've always been a fan of street musicians and love to drop a $ or more in their hats.
Glad it makes you smile and hope it keeps doin that for a while..
Hi! Brian...
This poem is very vivid...I can imagine doing just that...opening the window and letting "street band musician's" music in...this poem is very descriptive too!
Thanks, for sharing your 160 words...By the way, maybe it's just me, but I notice that "windows" play an important role in some Of poetry.
DeeDee ;-D
this is lyrical!
I would park and get out and join in.
Great poem! Hope you have an equally great drive back too. :-)
I love it when you just encounter street music.... Be safe coming home...
loved the happiness it brought to the heart. :)

Nice 160 I can hear the beat! Music always makes me happy, even when it makes me cry.
This is filled with pure joy Brian and I love it. Also love steet bands/music.
this sounds like a perfect sunday afternoon to me.
Terrific flow on this one, Brian. Street musicians - may they live on forever.
Asheville streets are full of music -- so glad you got to spend some time there!
That's why I love New Orleans!
so happy I like the cheerfulness of it Brian :-) and hope that you had a wonderful time ...
This one too :)
It is mesmerizing to watch the street players, or player, as the case may be. They are so devoted and usually quite the characters. Too serious of a take on my part? :)
I like street bands too. I have seen some good ones. Somewhere along the way that talent took a wrong turn in life.
Very interesting blog with good tips and insights.
