The young freshman had actually yet to sleep with any of the girls at College. In fact, he'd only had sex twice in his entire life, both of those intoxicated fumblings with one of the High School whores who'd spread their legs for any male with a bottle of liquor and an attitude; both of which Stuart possessed, and had happened late at night, under the cover of darkness. Of course, that number had been multiplied ten-fold when swapping stories with the other members of Delta Tau Chi, as had…

The white snow is falling, one by one, layering the quiet grounds of my neighborhood. In the distance, I can see the useless sun, shining bright in the sky. However, the atmosphere I’m a part of is filled with darkness. One day, as I sat on my on my porch. I notice the khaki color of my door frame chips away more, every year it lives, similar to the way I flake away. I tell myself, when I walk through this gateway, I’m suppose to feel protected from all harms, I’m suppose to feel…

not just any quilt, I had Blanky. I that had trouble before the quilt came into our presence. The Slaughter Clan didn’t get along much. We fought, and bickered like cats and dogs. Our family were slowly going down hill. The soothing support of this blue, purple, and white quilt gave ours endless reasurement that wherever we went we knew that God was with us. Even though, God was hard to embrace physically one touch of blanky was enough to represent that the breath of God was most noticeable even…

Elvis was the most successful artist of the mid-1950s rock ‘n’ roll explosion; he was an impoverished teen from the Deep South, who came up with in the church with influences from country, blues, R&B, and the popular music of the day (Brackett, 2014). “That’s All Right, Mama” (Crudup, 1954) was the first recording Elvis did with Sam Phillips who was the owner of Sun Records (Brackett, 2014). The song has…

I consider my ethnic and musical background to be not just African by blood; but American by birth. When I visited Africa, I noticed a great deal of differences; on top of various similarities, between the Western culture and African tribal culture. No matter where I go or the type of music I listen to, I have always been entertained and pleased by the sound of music; but I have always felt a deeper comprehension and connection through the power of music. The most rarest and extraordinary…

A gentle breeze swept through the uncannily quiet town usually bustling with life and activity. The sky smothered the earth with a spotless blanket. Blistering heat made its way through the covering of the clouds and oiled the earth as if it was ready to fry an egg. Within the dull slumber of this Tuesday morning, all that could be heard were the words “help me, please somebody help me!” slicing through the thick air like a stab in the side. A stampede of thoughts trampled through my mind with…

artists working to put their own style on the melodies. It was pretty cool. I like the idea that these individuals are working so hard and now their onstage and get to put their own stamp on jazz. The form was fairly basic from what I could tell. Some blues, and typical AABA or AAB. Also, from what I could tell is the texture was mostly homophonic. One melody and the rest harmony. I think maybe in the more big band part of the performance there may have been polyphonic, but I am unsure because…
