"Crazy Face" The song I chose to review is “Crazy Face” by Van Morrison on the album “His Band and the Street Choir”. The tone color of this song is upbeat and jazzy‚ not so much inspirational‚ but laid back and pleasant. The tempo is based around an 8th note signature‚ mostly displayed by the Hi-hat in what I would classify as allegretto.

A Study in Portraits – da Vinci and Van Gogh Two of the greatest artists of all time would have to be Leonardo da Vinci (1452 – 1519) and Vincent Van Gogh (1853 – 1890).
