Evelyn Glennie

One thing that I'll remember about her performance is that she put her movements into it. Also she used all different types of tones in her song. Another thing I will remember is that she seemed to know where all the keys were and what sounds and vibrations they made.

She changed what the audience heard by the distance of where they were sitting and the different sticks she used.

By saying "Each person experiences music in their own way" I think she meant that music is a different experience to everyone and that there isn't a specific way people experience music. Also I think not everyone enjoys the same music because of the tones of different types of music some is heavier and some isn't and that affects the experience.

Farmers market visit

For the farmer's market visit i interviewed Farmer steve. He is a famer/vender who also does home deliveries. He first started coming to that farmers market 15 years ago, and also goes to 2 other farmer's markets. He buys most all his food at the farmers market the only thing he buys at grocery stores is bananas. He also said farmer's market aren't doing well because of fast food places and also that grocery stores sell the same stuff as farmers markets so not as many people go to farmers markets as much. Another thing that he mentioned is that he sells for 2 other familys as long as he supplies 50% of the merchandise.
The Farmers market I went to was in poway it was a lot like I expected, but there weren't as many venders as I thought there would be. Apples were a lot less expensive than I thought and there weren't any items that were more expensive than I thought. I think I will probable go to a farmers market more often because there are a lot of great items.
