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.

    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…

    Essay On Rockabilly

    Rockabilly is one of the oldest styles of rock and roll. It blends rock and roll with the music genre of bluegrass and country music, with the rhythm of blues music. It can be known for “hillbilly” music, but with the influence it has on today's music, it would not be labeled for “hillbillies”, and yet it had the beat of swing.

    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,…

    Song Of The Open Road Tone

    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. However, in "Thanatopsis", the tone starts off as sad and miserable to reassuring about the concept of death. Since, people often are afraid to leave the Earth at any moment, they should go out into nature and hear its voice to know that when they die, they will not be alone and they will mix back into the…

    Discussing Garth Brooks's 'The River'

    For my song I picked Garth Brooks “The River.” I consider this song to be very meaningful. This song is about chasing your dreams and never giving up on what you believe in, reminding us that life is shorter than we think and if we just stand on the shore watching the river go by, then life will be gone before we know it. Garth Brooks uses a lot of psychological concepts in this song, such as, Attitude, Affect, Motivation, Optimism, and Behavior. Garth Brooks says, “A dream is like a river.” A dream changes, just like a river changes. As life changes, the river can be calm then strong then calm again, so our path in life change. Garth Brooks says that “He will sail his vessel until the river runs dry.” To me this mean no matter what life throws…

    Johnny Cash Thesis

    “But ‘till we start to make a move to make a few things right / You’ll never see me in a suit of white” sang the man everyone came to know as the Man in Black (Dolan 21). The man’s real name was Johnny Cash. Releasing numerous songs, and winning sixteen music awards, Johnny Cash became one of the best country music singers known to man. “He wore a long, black swallow- tailed preacher’s coat over a high-collared black shirt; his pants, too, and even his boots were black.” More known for his sultry singing voice and his bad boy attitude, Johnny Cash rocked the music industry to its core (Dolan 35).…

    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…..…

    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 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.…
