The thing that I will remember about Evelyn's performance is the part where she plays her instrument. This really caught my attention by the expression that she made in her face, and not only that she really showed much emotion in her hands which was the source of which she played really dramatic and mysterious notes. Whenever she played, it really caught peoples attention because you get to listen while you watch her play and you would of never guessed that it was really complicated playing the way she did, meanwhile being death. I also think that when she played the drums I never figuered that you had to stand in a certain position and also hear the vibrations of the drums in order to know what note you just played. I thought that this was really interesting and very entertaing which is something that I wouldn't really say, but I really liked her performance and I admire her for being death which must be really hard for her even though she is a strong women that came to the music industry and never gave up.

What elements of her performance influenced what the audience heard?

The elements that Evelyn used to make the audience hear what she wanted were typical hand gestures and just literally hitting some type of random thing that she saw to make the audience hear what she wanted them to hear. This basically means that she used anything to make noise out of something that you wouldnt expect for it to hear that way, and make the audience guess what noise she was trying to make.

What did she mean by, "Each person experiences music in their own way"? Think about how you experience music and why everyone doesn't enjoy listening to the same music.

I think that what she ment by this was that people have different ways and perspectives which means that if I interpert something one way another person might hear it differently because they hear through another way or see things at a different level. This means that people have their own personal way of understanding their own music and sounds. I think that the way that I experience music is really different from others because I like to be active and like the loud energetic music, which I know alot of people don't really like, and they won't really enjoy it very much.

What is your name and your role at this Farmers Market?

My name is Juan and my role here at this Farmers Market is selling fresh vegtables at really low prices.

Why do you choose to shop here at the market?

Because I really like it here.

When did you first start coming here?

Like three years ago.

Do you garden at home? Why or why not?

Yes, I do garden at my house since I grow most of my products there, which I think are very healthy.

What would be your advice to get others to do what you do?

My advice to them is that they should really come and do what we do since the food is really good and healthy, and also because there isn't any harmful chemicals that grow with the product.

The thing that struck me from seeing this location is that it looked very different from other grocery stores. It was out doors and very peaceful with many visitors, and also they let you try out their food before you buy it. This was very different from my perspective that I thought about, I thought it was going to be bigger but I can understand that many people can't afford very fresh foods.

The items that were cheaper were the vegetables and all the greens. But the ones that were more expensive were the strawberries, which I didn't expect.

I honestly think I will go more often to a farmers market because of all the fresh vegetables and even though I don't like strawberries that much, they looked so good and fresh at the farmers market.

These locations fit in to the questions because people now in days don't want to live sustainably because it's expensive and sometimes because they don't care. It also fits into the part where I could convince people to start going to places that sell organic foods because I just have to show them and explain how it all works, and then they will know that it's worth it.
