A Review Of Michael Crockett's Road Song
The band also performed two fast tempo songs in which the drums and percussions were prevalent. One of the songs was “Bassanova” by Michael Crockett, in which Marty Liquori played the guitar in a one bar pattern where he played the chords in sync with the drums. The other song was a cover of “Road Song” by Wes Montgomery. When asked about this song, Marty Liquori stated that one of the reasons he loves playing this song is because Wes Montgomery was known for the invention of playing guitar in octave notes. In this style, Marty stated that when playing the guitar, you can repeat phrases where the rhythms remain the same but become modified to fit the chords of the rest of the band in order to remain in harmony.

    Essay On Rockabilly

    Joplin: Personal Narrative

    Prior to the tornado, my experience of Joplin was limited to a dozen family visits over two decades. My lasting impression from those years were of a city that felt more like a small town. However, Joplin is the fourteenth-largest city and the fourth-largest metropolitan area in Missouri, boasting 49,000 residents and a daytime population of 270,000 taken from the metropolitan population of 400,000 citizens. Of the citizens who self-identified their ethnicity in the 2010 census, 85.6 percent were Caucasian, 3.3 percent were African-American, 4.5 percent were Hispanic/Latino, and the remaining population were Native American, Asian, and Pacific Islander. Citizens of Joplin, primarily middle-class and blue-collar, worked in manufacturing,…

    Personal Narrative: The Ukule Anthem By Amanda Palmer

    I ordered the cheapest ukulele on I could find on Amazon and waited for it to arrive. I tracked the order multiple times a day and binge-watched ukulele tutorials on YouTube. I soaked up all of the information I could find about ukuleles, from brands to chords to strumming techniques. I wanted to be able to play a song right out of the box. When it arrived, I tore open the package and took the brick-red, black-stringed plastic instrument out. Instead of starting with easy to play songs, I tuned it up and I dove in, challenging myself to play difficult songs with quick chord changes and difficult finger positioning. The first song I ever played in full was “The Ukulele Anthem” by Amanda Palmer. I played until my suffering fingers turned bright…

    The tones between the " Song of the Open Road" and "Thanatopsis are quite different. In the " Song of the Open Road", the tone is tranquil and stress-free. In which the poem specifies on how people need to get outside into nature to be free from difficult obstacles they face in their everyday lives.

    Sonny's Blues - Baldwin Personal Reflection

    “Sonny’s Blues” is an emotional story written by an amazing author, James Baldwin, who has come to be one of my favorite writers. This particular piece talks about the troubles of African American freeing themselves from the mental bondages of their surroundings, the ghetto. The title is significant, and helped me to understand the underlining meaning of the story. The title can be divided into two main reasons, the first, “Sonny’s Blues, meaning the music he plays. Second is the reference to his life, his feelings, his style, and most importantly his way of life.…

    The Authenticity of Modern Country Music

    Imagine a warm, breezy afternoon deep in the heart of Dixieland. Picture an old farmhouse nestled peacefully in the woods beside a clear, sparkling creek. A rocking chair rests lazily on the back porch with a floppy-eared Bassett hound at its feet. On the table beside it is a glass of cool, refreshing lemonade and a radio tuned in to the local country station. You stop to listen…..…

    The Beat Generation In Jack Kerouac's On The Road

    The Beat Generation, a literary and artistic movement that emerged in the United States in the late 1940s, after the Second World War and in the early days of the Cold War, owes its name to street slang. The term "beat" (borrowed from street jargon, and meaning down and out, poor or homeless) perpetuated the romantic, bohemian myth of the “lost generation.” The Franco-Canadian writer Jack Kerouac, whose novel On the Road (1957) contributed to giving the movement its mythical aura, added a contemplative subtlety to the term. In "beat", he said, we should also hear the word "beatitude". The Beat Generation thus nurtured a profound attachment to nature and shamanic spiritualties, seeing humankind as an integral part of the cosmos. The Beats were also attracted to the rhythm of jazz, the music organically linked to the movement, through the figures of Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and others.…
