Love at First Sound: a Tribute to Joy
You know how you associate certain songs with certain memories? This piece is my Saturday afternoon memory.
Living in Pilsen and always having the windows open, I'm used to letting in a lot of sounds: the church bells from across the street, cars on 18th, Mexican music, children playing, etc. After a long week at work I came home to a bustling weekend-long festival on my street, complete with live bands, bingo, DJs, and vendors! On Saturday afternoon however, I was surprised by a most unusual (for Pilsen) and beautiful sound coming through the windows and echoing off the buildings. This piece gives you my ears as I turned on the recorder and got up and out of the apartment to check it out. It's also a tribute to the music of Joy Ike, whose CD I've had on repeat the last few days.
