Hand Pan

I did have a different photo lined up for today, but while at the supermarket this afternoon I heard this man busking outside Woolworths playing a hand pan. The music he was playing was the most amazing music I have ever heard. It lifted the soul and that is what I needed today. It made me realise that however bad your day has been, there is always something good in it if you look for it.

It looks like an upside down wok! Music has magical qualities on the soul.

@shirleytemple The bells really added to the music and it sounded very haunting and beautiful. Just what I needed today.

[Babs]

@guttersniperebecca They certainly do.

[Babs]

@joluise It certainly does and my soul was mended slightly today. Each day I hope to find something inspiring. At least for a while anyway.

What a find and an amazing instrument, I've not seen anything like it, does he sell CD's. Pleased it resinated so beautifully with you soul.

@winnedreamer I'd never seen anything like it before either. People were standing listening to him for ages. Don't know about a cd. I did speak to him briefly. I've asked Deb to ask him if ever she sees hiim outside her local supermarket again. I have about 2 minutes of his music recorded from my camera though.

Hi Babs. It sounds as if you did need this. Lovely shot - I can almost hear the music here.

Love the look of intense concentration on his face, a lovely photo.

@davidgnc Thanks
@steampowered I did need it, it was beautiful. Right place, right time I think. Not a brilliant photo, but a beautiful memory.
@tinakav He was completely surrounded by the music.

@brennan1983 Thanks Brennan. We are having a hard time at the moment and needed something to lift our spirits. The music helped. I've never seen an hand pan before either, but checked it out on Youtube and the music is amazing.

[Babs]

@mrsbaldy Thanks. Hope your spirits can be lifted too. It all takes time. I am really struggling today too.

@ruby_tuesday Hi Helen. Glad to see you have finally got cracking with 365. Will see you and Nic when we get home. You are right, I do seem to be drawn to buskers. I could have taken this one home with me!
