Evelyn Glennie

What I will remember about her performance is that she was able to perform in such a high-quality way even though she is deaf and can't hear anything. I remember when I was in concert band one year we had a disabled person in our class and it reminded me of the special way they had to learn how to play a instrument.

When she played on the marimba it created a sort of mysterious feeling that made me think of instances within my stories when there was a disturbing or tense moment before a major battle that would determine the outcome of well everything. What helped create this kind of moment was the feel of the music and my own imagination.

I think what influenced what the audience heard was the theater they were in, where they were sitting, the position of the speakers, and their own ears.

I think she meant that through life experiences they experience music in all sorts of ways. Some may find deep meaning in music like punk rock but others might see nothing but angry people. Music and the way it is received and interpreted revolves around the cultural stresses at the time. For instance after 9/11 people who usually hate patriotic/country music started listening to it with pride for a short while.

Sustainability Visit

1. What is your name and role here?

My name is Kathi and I am a shopper here.

2. Why do you choose to shop here?

Well there are fresh food... and I am sort of forced to by my children, but I also like to support.

3. When did you first start coming here?

ummm, A while go... few years now. I think five years, at least.

4. Do you garden at home?

uh, no. I live in a apartment so it really wouldn't be all that easy for me to garden at home.

5. What would your advice to get others to do what you do?

hmmm, I guess because it's a good thing...

1. I guess what struck me about it was how small it was. The one I went to you could easily walk up and down the entire length of it in what seemed to be only a minute. As far as goods there it was what I expected, they had all the average stuff you would expect to find at a farmer's market.

2. I didn't really look at the prices of most items but I did notice that honey at the market I went to was fairly expense compared to what I was use to.

3. hmmm, I don't think my family will any time soon seeing how stubborn some of us are, but I think further down the line I will eventually start going to them more often than not.

4. I think these places and the people at them show why most don't live sustainably because I realized that some there have the want and desire to live more sustainably i.e. growing their own foods, but those people don't have the means to live sustainably. I think these places really show that the only way to get the average person convinced you need to make it more easily accessible and less of a annoyance/burden.
