Hello

           Today I went to the porch fest, and it was really fascinating, it was more than I expected. As I passed through with my bicycle,  I saw a crowd of people standing in front of these performers. I really admired how people of all ages were performing. 

           A tune that most stood out to be was a song that was sung by 4 people, all having a specific part to make this strong and fierce. There was a cello, a violin, a drummer and a lead singer. Now keep in mind that they all sang. All four harmonized really well, on the same beat. I believe the beat was on a 4/4, with a big and intense pounding on the drum. Now, this really called out to me, not because of the lyrics, honestly I was a little far away that I couldn't listen to the lyrics, but because of the pace of the song and how interesting the chorus was. I love how the cello, violin drums and vocals just matched together, especially on how the lead women singer just sang so passionately. At first, I thought it was nice and strong enough, however, there was a surprise when the instruments were just building up louder and even stronger (crescendo). I wish this exact song was put into itunes, so I could continue visualizing a nice picture in my head and daydream a setting, purpose, and theme music in the background on the Hudson river at NYC. I do not know why, but it just makes me feel as if I were home, when I think about the Hudson river.


          Unfortunately, I was unable to provide the video or audio of the song here. Although I do have it recorded on my IPhone, but I couldn't post up the video
