My band director is one of the most important and influential people in my life. He always helps boost my confidence in my playing abilities‚ and he always believes in me. I started band a year after everyone else‚ because my mom wanted me to focus on school for the first year of middle school. When I finally did join band in sixth grade‚ Mr. Sacco was very helpful and patient with me. There’s something he’s said that I believe is the best advice I have ever received : “It’s not the mistakes you

The Band Perry‚ a sibling musical trio composed of Kimberly Perry and her brothers Reid and Neil‚ is an interesting study in contrast. Just with the first two singles‚ the newcomers offered a lightweight‚ ebullient number in "Hip to My Heart" and a sad‚ weighty ballad‚ "If I Die Young." And most impressively‚ both songs manage to fit in well on their surprisingly diverse debut album.

So while Johnny Cash could be a country artists or rockabilly‚ and even in some of his more recent covers‚ I would see him as a rock musician. Folk rock brought the always-classic Bob Dylan‚ Sonny and Cher‚ and Simon and Garfunkel. Further down the line I would lump bands like the Eagles‚ Lynard Skynard‚ Alabama and Little Feat. It
