I love the ice-cream truck music. I only hear it when it comes down my
block, and it doesn't last long enough to be disturbing. It reminds me
of when my children were little. They were always so happy when they
heard that sound. We lived in New Jersey then, but I think the music
was quite similar. I have no idea what it is. I'll have to think about
that next time I hear it.

Your local authorities would probably object to the hideous music

In the better parts of London they have overcome this problem and

gainful employment for otherwise idle musicians by requiring that each
van
be accompanied by a strong quartet playing selections from early
Mozart.
Except at Easter when a choir singing Gregorian plainchant is de
rigueur.

Hi Paul
why don't we have ice cream cars here in Switzerland and
never had one :-( Somehow ice cream must ring some bells for
you, right? some sweet memories from your childhood?
When I visited England for the first time they had those 31
flavor ice cream shops, just wonderful.
Nowadays they start in Zurich with some Italian ice cream
shops which are quite good actually.
Mmmmmh, I am waiting for summer and the first ice cream this
year, we just had the first sunny and warm day here.
greetings
Markus
The ice cream man came at magic hour. He stopped two
doors down. I
was working in the garden. I ran upstairs, spun the DA
50-200 onto a
D and ran back outside. Just had time to get off a shot
or two. It's
not ideal. Certainly wish the mirror wasn't in front of
the girl's head.
But I love the light and the moment. I can still hear the bells
playing the ice-cream truck song. You know that one. It goes
something link ding, ding, ding, dong, dong. Hum along now.
