When you consider the thousands of years between the first lutes and modern lutes, it’s actually quite remarkable how similar the lutes of the past are to more recent lutes (like the guitar and orchestral strings). We can learn a lot about Greco-Roman lutes by looking at their predecessors and descendants. The lute spread much like languages do. Just as regional dialects develop, so, it appears, did lute preferences. The lute did not develop linearly from Mesopotamia, through Greece, and…
Hey, that's right it's me, the best in the business. No need to get star struck, I promise.(pause for laughter) I may be the best drummer, from the best band, with the best set, but I hope you can handle the radical emanating off this stage. (Shrug) Oh right, for those of you who don't know, my name's (point to self) Tommy Lee. The famous drummer of Motley Crüe, one of the best bands of this decade. You probably are just here for the autographs at the end, but you're going to sit through this…
myself. Clad in flannel and jeans, he began to strum his guitar. Finally, he opened his mouth and the angelic sound filled the charged arena. My dad looked at me and smiled, so happy to see me experience the greatest moment of my life. When Ed sang, we sang louder. When Ed danced, we danced crazier. We were in our element- soaking in every single note and beat like a sponge. Being in the same vicinity as the two redheaded, flannel-wearing, guitar-playing men who had inspired me to pick up…
After reading the textbook, the modules, and listening to the blues, there is definitely a different sound to each artist, time period and type of blues. I enjoyed all the selections for their unique characteristics and respect for the music and its artists, however there were some types that I preferred. Of the blues selections provided in the modules Keb Mo’s blues song “Am I Wrong” was by far my favorite. I believe that I prefered this blues songs over the others was for its upbeat feeling…
On this night, he asked if any young folks in the audience brought their guitar and would like to play. There were at least on 8 or so kids jumping up and down. He picked this young lady of 16. She came up to the stage and yes she had a Stratocaster, probably why he choose her? He asked her if ”She knew who Eric Clapton was.”…
is “Crazy On You,” by the rock group Heart. It has been my all-time favorite song since I was in high school, and was one of the first songs I learned how to play on guitar. It is a stellar example of rock music that was popular in the seventies and displays the accomplished songwriting talents of lead singer Ann Wilson, her guitar-playing sister Nancy, as well as the contributions of the other members of the band: Howard Leese, Roger Fisher, Steve Fossen, and Michael Derosier. Composed by…
Vin Dammann (vocals, rhythm guitar), Dan Tumolo (drums), Rich Ealer (lead guitar, vocals) and Morgan Bartz (bass), make up the local New Jersey alternative band. Constructed from their Eps Beach House, Leaving Rip City and Its Not Your Pain, they delivered a thorough performance. Throughout, Ealer and his guitar were captivating to say the least. Not to say the foursome did not ‘wow’ as a whole, just the imaginativeness…
days after her untimely death, let us take moment to reflect on the legacy she left behind. Old Taylor was an artist and an idol. The blonde-hair and blue-eyed singer started her career with a pair of cowboy boots while she shed teardrops on an acoustic guitar. She became everyone’s girl next door. The sweet, innocent Taylor sang about kissing in the rain and finding her Romeo, even if that involved her sitting on…
In my life, there have been many different experiences that have shaped and molded me into the person that I am today. I have to believe that music has played an important role in forming the essence of who I am. Three of the most important things that music has taught me are the importance of family, how to be dedicated, and how music can affect one’s spirituality. Music has opened many doors for me, and it has allowed me to view life in different ways than most people my age are able to. Music…
