All American Feast Analysis
Scrumptious flavors and aromas accompanied a night filled with great music in Hennepin Avenue’s Famous Dave’s restaurant, where Tommy Castro and the Painkillers put on a show like no other. Tommy Castro lived up to his reputation of being former BB King Entertainer of the Year on Friday, October 7th, as he moved the entire crowd through his music and stories. This foot-tapping music was perfectly complemented with Famous Dave’s All American Feast, which consisted of mouth-watering ribs, flavor-filled corn, juicy country-roasted chicken, barbeque smothered brisket, crispy famous fries, bacon infused beans, creamy coleslaw, and godly corn bread. To complete the decadent meal and the night full of blues music, bread pudding and ice cream were …show more content…
This skilled playing brought the whole crowd to their feet during the performance, despite the delicious food sitting right underneath their noses. This song, which was new to many die-hard fans, ended with a powerful drum solo by Brown. This solo was enhanced by the striking notes of Randy McDonald’s beautiful, teal bass. As the night progressed, Castro filled the audience’s ears with a couple of raw sounding covers. B.B. King’s “Bad Luck” and Bob Dylan’s “Gotta Serve Somebody” were instant crowd pleasers, along with Castro’s classic hit “Right as Rain.” Castro and his Painkillers were definitely there to surprise and please their audience, just as they are known for. Castro continued to astonish his loving fans by inviting the San Francisco native, Nancy Wright, on stage to spice things up with her beloved saxophone. Wright allowed Tommy Castro and the Painkillers to perform their rare and most popular of songs with the introduction of this new instrument. Also with the help of Wright, Castro was able to fill the burning request of one fan. He played an original song, “Big Sister’s Radio,” and the saxophone’s notes screamed at the crowd, the onlookers eagerly gobbling up every single note given to

    Walt Disney Animation Studios Feast (2014) is a tear-jerking, romantic drama, animated short film written by Raymond S. Persi and Nicole Mitchell. In a matter of six minutes, the writers take us on a journey of love and loss in the perspective of a once homeless dog, Winston. Although there is limited dialogue in this short film, it is just enough to let you know what the characters in the film are actually feeling. The orchestrated music fits perfectly with the ups and downs of the story, especially when the owner gets a new girlfriend. My favorite scene was when Winston meets his new house mate (the baby), and he happily dropps a meatball onto the ground for the elated pooch to gobble up. Despite the fact that Feast had very few loose ends,…

    I showed up too late to experience his opening acts. When I found myself at the top of the hill, looking down at the stage, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement. The stage was covered with fog, behind an enormous white screen, and there was music playing while we waiting for Kid Cudi to make his entrance. Once the lights turned down, the crowd grew quiet in anticipation.…

    B.B. King performed a full blues concert, but based off his performance and the crowd reactions, you would not think he was performing anything sad. Though his style is traditionally blues, each song performed, with the exception of “Love Me Tender”, had an upbeat vibe to it. He played a total of nine songs with almost all of them ending with the same melody that the Blues are known for. The acoustics of the venue, Nick’s Uptown, were pretty good. There was only a slight echo, but for the audience it was probably unnoticeable. Actually, Nick’s Uptown did not seem as large as I thought it would be but it is a club after all. King and his band performed in front of a packed house, and from the start, the audience was loud as soon as King got on stage.…

    I spent some time thinking of some meaningful places to me but the one that stands out the most is a table. Its not an ordinary table but rather yet a very long picnic table, one that could hold about forty people. During the summer months this table is filled with some of the most interesting and friendly people I have ever been around. For the past three years I have worked for a whitewater rafting company on one of the more challenging rivers in the Southeast. Our home base is what we call the “outpost”, its where we eat, sleep, shower, and live our lives in what some people might call a barbaric way of life. The outpost consists of about forty or so river guides that take people down challenging class four and five whitewater during the day and then come home for an evening of events at night. At the outpost we have one raft guide that has decided to lay down their paddle in order to supply the community with delicious food every night at 6. Tired from paddling on the river all day, river guides are relaxing but mostly hungry. Some are lying down in what we call “bungalows” it’s an extravagant way of describing the home…

    At around 4:45, the concert finally began. All the members of the band was sitting on their seats and getting ready, except for Mr. O’Neal, while everybody’s looking for him, he suddenly appeared. Everyone in the room was clapping so hard to welcome Mr. O’Neal, then he started his music right away. The first song named “Un Poco Loco”, I love the tempo of those two different type of drums that were playing in this song, it gave people a kind of lively and pleasure feeling, and Mr. O’Neal’s face was funny. The second song was a lyrical song called “I should care”, sang by Mr. O’Neal, the lyric was very touched and the melody made me relax, I enjoyed listening to Mr. O’ Neal’s singing, however, he made a joke in the end to pull out a long tone seem to be endless. After this he rested for a while and introduced his band members to the audience, he said “I only hire those people who are uglier than me and shorter than me, and talented”. There was total six guys on the…

    Thanksgiving dinner is the meal where you cook for 10 hours and eat for 10 minutes. When one goes through the day not eating anything because they fear it might ruin their appetite. Every room in the house is intoxicated with this sensationally delicious thanksgiving aroma. When dinner is called my famine family sounds like a pack of hungry elephants running for their prey. Once we finally reach the designated area of the food, we stand around it like planets orbiting the sun. Admiring the turkeys crispy skin shimmer in the light, the mountains of mashed potatoes, the richly colored brown gravy, and that one dish grandma brings but no one ever eats. The dessert is the only thing better than the main course. The orange pumpkin…

    Watching the band perform Monique could see that they wanted to give the audience an enjoyable, quality and meaningful performance. They played songs ranging from the whole swing era to a little big band. They played “Almost Like Being in Love” which is a jazz standard that has been sung by the greats Nate Cole, and Dean Martin. There version was a little slower than original, the brass section has a solo as where the trombones get the biggest solo part within the brass section. Unlike the other version where you here more percussion and piano, there’s was kept very mellow and soothing appose too loud and upbeat. “Stormy Weather” was played to and it was pretty much played the same way as the original version. It had a singer with a band section playing behind the singer. The drums and percussion section get a little more glory in this song as a pose to the one played before it. The Band liked to play a lot of mellow and soothing tone songs than the more upbeat songs usually played by artist on today’s jazz scene. Another major song was played called “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” it was sung by a singer backed up by a soft brass instruments and accompanied by a…

    After I read chapters 18 and 19 in Animal Reader I almost couldn’t bring myself to eat meat. I had already begun to shy away from red meat, but not because my conscience was making me feel shame or guilt. Instead, I just sort of break out with hives if I eat a lot of red meat, but even that reaction didn’t stop me from enjoying my previously heavy carnivorous diet. I am beginning to be more mindful of my treatment towards animals and of my meat consumption. I don’t think I can ever look at bacon the same way because I now think of a pig being stuck inside a box and not being able to even turn around and it ties into my acute fear of claustrophobia.…

    In the late 1800’s Native Americans treasured food, but the cooking appliances were rudimentary. Native American food and cuisine have historical significances, because it has changed the cooking industry today. Today we eat unhealthy, easy, quick meals. Farming methods allowed crops to grow on the same soil. It was hard, tiring, and miserable to work in the hot sun, trying to catch your family a meal. Today, microwaves, ovens, and mixers make it effortless to make a meal in minutes. Even though today we have advanced utensils to cook with, meals are less healthy and higher in fat content. Native Americans created traditions and culture due to resources surrounding their food in the late 1800’s which has lost…

    Rock N Roll History

    Or what associate professor David Brackett of McGill University would recall “one of the most disastrous examples of urban renewal in recent U.S history.” Education and social funding saw cuts in areas such as music programs, and opportunities were far and few between for many of the borough’s residents. Everybody may not have had access to a musical instrument, but most households still had a record player. It was in this environment a mobile disc jockey by the name of Kool Herc gained notoriety from an innovative playing style while performing at block parties in the neighbourhood parks and nightclubs. As rock critic Robert Ford Jr, noted in 1978 Billboard Magazine, Kool Herc’s playing style came from taking relatively short, unknown R&B rhythm breaks and splicing them back to back to create an infectious soundtrack. It was one record Herc recalls intimately as starting it all off, “Bongo Rock … The tune has a really good rhythm break but it was too short, I had to look for other things to put with it.” Much like the minimalistic beginnings of the bluesmen in rock n roll’s past, this was another example of making something out of nothing. But why so much popularity with inner city youth? Kool Herc points to modern music’s overproduction, “On most records, people have to wait through a lot of strings and singing to get to the good part of the record, but I just give it to them up front.” There is little doubt the evidence of punk and hip-hop’s simplistic approach in search of originality show a clear division from the extreme excess of the decade’s pop…

    The session began abruptly with a type of jazz distinctive from my past hours listening to 91.1. This first musical piece was Alfredo De La’s “Somos Los Reyes Del Mundo” in the album Triunfo. The beat behind all of the vocal, violin, and flute improvisation sounded very much like salsa music. The bongo being played behind all the improvisation was super addictive, and my legs shook along with the music.…

    Babette contrasts with the sisters Martine and Philippa. This contrast is made clear through the different elements of the production design. Maritine and Philippa dress similar in blue and have fair skin while Babette is darker skinned. Babette’s cross necklace represents her French Catholic background which further contrasts her from the sisters. The statue of Christ in the sisters’ home is often shown in the background and reminds the audience of what a central role religion plays in their life. Indeed the sister’s religious beliefs play such a pivotal role in their lives that Babette’s foreign cuisine (quails, a live turtle, wine) appears as a form of witchcraft to them because they have lived their life rejecting the pleasure of flesh. The sisters regard food’s objective as merely providing nourishment. They are shown eating plain foods such as soaked bread and coffee. Babette adopts their simple meals, but when the opportunity arises to prepare an exquisite dinner she takes it.…
