Daisy Summer Piper


It's Sunday again! First of all, that means it's been exactly a week since Photolumination started. Second, that means the theme today is a song lyric, although it's actually one of two that I had in mind when I took this picture...

"Daisy summer pipers come to town
Piping people out of doors
To see the magic all around
Listen now you'll hear his sound."
--Daisy Summer Pipers, by Joni Mitchell

It was taken in Central Park, in New York City last June. We were waiting in line to get tickets to Shakespeare in the Park's Hamlet, and this man was one of several entertainers who took it upon themselves to keep everyone in the long, long line happy. It worked with these two - they were dancing around and listening intently.

The other song I had in mind was Joni's "For Free" -- as in, "He was playing real good for free..."
