I heard that sounds again from the peddled bread and ice cream vendor who passed everyday on my house at around 8am to 9am. The music that always catch my attention really attract the crowd to buy for their goods. It really kinda cute like funny tunes even babies make them dance. Sometimes I used it an alarm too, for it consistent time passing bye I know it is already 8 or 9 o'clock. We have lots of vendors passing by but not all have music, normally there are shouting. Only these two who really catch my attention.
Do you have regular passers on your street that attract your attention and sometimes you waited for it?

Like the mother hen when it make sounds to gather her little ones under her wings due to danger or they have to move, I think that most of us can recognize a sound from someone. I don't know the circumstances behind the sounds that you hear, whether it's the sounds of love, the sound of silence, or the sounds of the ice cream vendor. Whatever it is, it has made a brand for himself. That's what Mike Dillard the Law of Attraction. How I wish I had the cunning ability to attract people to mine business too - even just a cool ice cream would be great.

i my place there are a lot passing by because i live near the hi-way but vendors passing by in the morning is very rare...vendors in my place pass by in the afternoon and you will not even notice the music that they are playing because its quite noisy here from the vehicles that pass by...

i know what you mean. one of the regulars who pass by our place is the "taho" vendor. he usually pass by at around 7 or 8 in the morning. and you know who he is with his voice shouting "tahoooo! tahooo!" and sometimes, he even shouts the name of the kids, his "sukis", regular buyers. "tahooo ki! tahoooo patrick!"
there is also this bread vendor with his horn that goes like, "tooo toot, toooh tooot". the ice cream vendors with the bicycle or tricycle also have their own ways of catching attention to buyers, the musical tune.
what i really miss here is the one who usually goes out at night, "balooot!"

There is a little ice cream truck that comes through here about twice a week. More in the summer. It had been forever since I had seen one. II used to see them all the time when I was a child but over the years..I thought they had just been phased out. It plays the music too.

Aside from selecta and magnolia ice cream, the only vendor that attracts me everytime he passes by is that we call "binatog" .He has his own style of shouting and blowing his horn...he shouted like singing the word "biii...iiii...iii, nahh hahhh, tog!"

I also like the sounds of the ice cream vans and I think I like ice creams very much and loves having ice creams. Here also there are lots of vendors who makes sounds from the vehicle when they passes and some of them contains musics. I think it is a good idea to make music in the vehicles of vendors because this will help people to understand which vendor is passing.
