Musical Story of My Life
The musical story

There was once a man with a flute who could play. A number of tunes in an excellent way, But he said, there’s no use of my playing of my flute, for I can’t make a penny with my tootle-ootle-oot.
One day, he chanced to meet with a quaint little man. Who played a big tuba. Thus, his story ran.
There was once a man with a tuba who could play. A number of tunes in an excellent way, But he said, there’s no use of my playing of my tuba. For I can’t make a penny with my oompah-oompah-oompapah.
I have traveled far and wide but never once saw.
And while they walk, they meet a tall man. With a big bass drum, thus, his story ran.
There was once a man with a bass drum who could play. A number of tunes in an excellent way, But he said, there’s no use of my playing of my drum, For I can’t make a penny with my boom-boom-boom.
And how about me? (a man passing by), I played the cymbals but I really don’t know why from spring to fall and from fall to spring, For I can’t make a penny with my zing-zing-zing.
The four joined forces that very same day. And people came from everywhere just to hear them play. And they played together and their music filled the room

    Written by one of the most recognized Greek philosophers, this quote I believe matches perfectly with Andy, a rebellious teenager with an extreme passion for music. From what I have read in this book, I feel that Andy finds himself when he listens to this music. This is because he is in a rock band and was raised with music. In the book, Andy does not have faith in himself as much as he should. He deems that he never anticipated that life would hand him anything, however things start to change as he and Anita start creating music of their own. Anita starts to change him, makes him realize that life can hand him beautiful things, and that it doesn’t matter where he has come from, or what labors he has gone through, what matters is that he is a moving influential person, and can achieve anything in the world.…

    In my youth, I hated music. I hated how other kids my age were out having fun while I stayed home on the piano bench. I hated the monotony of completing exercises every day on the piano: twelve major scales, and thirty-six minor scales, forty-eight arpeggios, and chord progressions in twelve keys for a grand total of 108 different permutations. After all, what was the point? This wasn’t going to land me a job anywhere. Little did I know that this was my future. It is October 2015 during halftime of a football game. The band director bores through the amalgamation of fellow band students then sits behind me on the edge of the wet bleachers. He speaks rapidly to me about the upcoming musical production and the necessity of a keyboard…

    Moreover, listening to big band music with him was very enjoyable, and I even once introduced him to rap music, which, as you probably assumed, didn’t go too well. I must admit that I got him to bop his head to the beat of the music a few times, which I found quite amusing. Another salient point I wish to make about Mr. Hawkins, is the admiration I had for his extensive automobile knowledge, which I am proud to say was partially inculcated in me. Even more impressive was his artistic abilities.…

    When the poem starts, the narrator urges the drums and bugles to play their music loudly and powerful, so it bursts through doors and windows into schools and churches. He even urges the instruments to disturb newlyweds and farmers. Then, as if on repeat, he once again urges the drums and bugles to play, except he describes their sound hoping it will reach across the city. He wants it to keep people up at night and keep them from working during the day. If people chose to ignore it and carry on with their business, the instruments must play even louder and wilder. Then once again, he tells the instruments to play even more powerfully, except this time they should not stop playing for any conversation or explanation. He urges the drums and bugles to not pay attention to anyone no matter what they are doing and tells the music to recruit men into the military, regardless what their mothers and children say. Finally, he urges the instruments to play so loud and powerful that it shakes the support beams that lie under the dead.…

    In Angela Carter’s “The Man Who Loved a Double Bass”, a tale is told of an intense relationship between a musician (Johnny Jameson) and his prized loved bass (Lola). Jameson, a very eloquent bass player, is perceived to be mad because of his desire to treat his instrument as his wife. Jameson plays in a band called the West End Syncopators. Lola Jameson’s bass, is his most valuable asset, so much so that it is required for people to treat her as a lady and purchase her a drink. The band’s fate is short lived when they resentfully decide to play at an old run down pub in the middle of nowhere. Although the gig is of high energy, its tenure ends quickly when a brawl breaks out among the crowd. This brawl between two cliques fatally results in the destruction of Lola. Two of the band members, Geoff and Nelson, began to search for the now missing Jameson. Unfortunately in the end Jameson escapes life by hanging himself with the very silk scarf he used to polish Lola. The central idea of Carter’s story that when one is carried away by unreasoned passion or love (infatuation), it can lead to unreasoned action or behavior, resulting in fatality.…

    "Work while you work, and play while you play." The meaning of the sentence seems to be self evident, and if someone claimed that it had deeper implications than its superficial meaning, people would tend to laugh at him. Don't we all work when we are working, and don't we play when we are playing? This would be the question that any one of us would automatically ask: if we were to deny it, they would be annoyed. It is the very simplicity of this old saw that hides its deeper meaning so vital for its true understanding. Simplicity seems to be the greatest deceiver of all.…
