Fragments From Floyd

I stopped in the Country Store to chat with Jen the manager about notecards and another project in the works. Near her office, a group of mothers with toddlers formed a circle, dancing more or less to the rhythm of a modern-day nursery rhyme.

I was fascinated to watch how the mothers and children, children and children interacted with each other, the music and the space.

Wait a minute! I had stuck my camera in my pack with the assumption I might come across some shots too good to miss. And here was the moment.

Especially fun to watch was the little boy (what: maybe 18 months old?) who at first appeared somewhat needy as I first noted him standing in the middle of the rug while others danced around him.

But no. He was anything but shy or needy, and he was INTO the music. Amazing how from such an early age some kids GET the math and aesthetics of music. This child is one of those for whom music will be like breathing. Wait and see.

Stumble it!
