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…

It was during the particularly hot August of 1964 that Margaret left her husband for another man. The oppressive, humid heat of the small college-town in West Virginia in the late summer made the usual daily life seem blurry and utterly dream-like. For this reason, Charles knew she was gone but didn’t really believe it; the blank space (almost like a black hole, sucking in bad thoughts and memories to give him a kind of illusioned, pure nostalgia) where she used to be was bathed with white and…

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).

year holds for him. Your music is reminiscent of classic Rock and Pop, who were your influences? Arthur: “Well, It’s very wide. It wasn’t just influenced by classic Rock and Pop. I was influenced by Classical music, and Jazz, and Rhythm & Blues music--all kinds…

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…

Bob Dylan, né Robert Zimmerman, hailed from the United States of America, born in Duluth, Minnesota and raised in Hibbing in Minnesota. He is a singer and songwriter of the folk rock genre. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame states that Robert taught himself the harmonica and the guitar at 10 years of age. In high-school he formed a band named the Golden Chords, his stage-name was Elston Gunn. At the University of Minnesota in 1959 he sang country songs, traditional folk songs and political folk style…

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…

Radio and television/film certainly had a huge impact on the rise of rock and roll. Perhaps if technology hadn’t advance different music styles would still remain regional. As the radio era had allowed cultural diffusion since each region had a slightly different variety of music than the next. When radio stations started broadcasting nationally, it influenced the rise of different styles of music. Instead of only being exposed to the type of music near them; people could now hear variations of…

a child in school. Although he did not have the prodigious talent like Biederbecke, he constantly listened to jazz bands, with Joe “King” Oliver being his favorite. At the age of eleven, Armstrong dropped out of school to pursue his music career. Louis Armstrong did not have the resources that Biederbecke had; therefore Armstrong did what he could with what he had and joined a quartet all comprised of young men and performed on the streets for compensation. Since then, he found himself jamming…
