Today I want to share a small but very meaningful moment from my workplace, something that reminded me once again why music has such a powerful way of connecting people. I work in an extended-day program at a school, and during a short break my colleague Ana known on Peakd as @vragolana and I experienced a lovely musical moment that completely brightened the day.
Although guitar is my main instrument, in our classroom we have a keyboard that the children sometimes use. I don’t really consider myself skilled on the keyboard; I only know the basics. Still, I decided to give it a try and play one of the most beautiful Starogradska songs: “Kraj jezera jedna kuć mala” by Zvonko Bogdan. With the help of the accompaniment chords, I slowly found the melody, and soon enough the song began to take shape.
As I was playing, Ana joined in with singing, and very naturally the two of us turned the moment into a warm, spontaneous duet. The atmosphere in the room suddenly felt like an old tavern by the river calm, nostalgic, and full of that gentle charm typical of Starogradska music. It’s amazing how just a few chords and familiar lyrics can completely shift the energy of the day.
Even though it wasn’t a performance on a big stage or with perfect technique, it was honest, simple, and full of positive emotion. And sometimes those are the moments that matter the most. Playing this song on an instrument that isn’t “mine” made the experience even more special, as if the music itself guided my fingers and allowed the emotion to shine through.
I wanted to share this experience in the Music Zone Community because it reminded me that music doesn’t need to be perfect or professional to be meaningful. Sometimes a short break at work, a colleague who loves music, and an old song from our tradition are more than enough to create a memory worth sharing.

Thanks for the advice. I'll post my song in another community another time when I'm not competing. I thought I could post the song here if it wasn't for the contest. That's why I didn't put in the title which is the Music Festival and Round. I understand the rules better now. Thank you for not mutating me. See you at the next Hive Music Festival with a New Cover on my guitar. Greetings from Serbia.
