I don’t know how the wonderful music history of Memphis pass me by but somehow It did! I have always heard that Memphis is known for its music history, especially the blues, but I never investigated the theory for myself. The instructor at the college challenged me to write a paper about the history of the Stax Museum in a reflection paper and I am really glad she did. It influenced me to finally take the time to view the history of Memphis firsthand starting with the Stax Museum. The research, museum, and the informative information my teacher taught in class helped me to learn the original name of the company, showed me the good and bad experiences with the company, taught me the meaning of music terms in the music company and lead me to…

I’m driving home from a late night soccer practice in Boston. From my house to Boston it’s about a 45-minute drive. Seeing as I forgot the IPod hook up for my car I was in a frustrating predicament of either choosing to drive in silence, which I hate doing, or turn on the radio. I opted to turn on the radio and attempt to find a station that actually plays decent music. In my area the main stations are Kiss 108, Jam’n 94.5, Mix 104.1, Radio 92.9, and Country 102.5. Kiss 108 is primarily a top 40…

Plagiarism and Fallacies Many people discredit the music genre of “mash-ups” from being an actually genre on the grounds that a mixer is using other people’s work. Mixing is actually a widely practices art form of music that in certain circles is in fact recognized as an art form. If much of the public stays close-minded on those who use other people’s music to create a new sound and only consider them to be plagiarists, this genre of music won’t be able to go anywhere. If mixers they are…

list goes on. Jobless artists due to the fact that people are downloading music instead of going out to purchase the artists music. Movie theaters have also closed due to the fact that people are bootlegging the movies and putting them on the internet for different people to watch.

careers out of silent films- careers that came to be in peril with the addition of sound to film. Accompanying Music and Sound Effects. A common misconception about silent films is that they were presented without any sound at all, leaving audiences to draw meaning…

Depression was triggered by a rapid decline in values of stock at the New York Stock Exchange in the fall of 1929. During this time, the national income had been cut in half, over nine million savings accounts evaporated, and five thousand banks had collapsed. Such a terrible economic climate inevitably impacted the entertainment industry, specifically Hollywood. In response to these times, the film industry created a studio system in which only the most important of films were produced by one…

The Root of Suffering Musicians Music has an undeniable, mystic power that is felt everywhere. It brings people together, creates unique environments and experiences, and creates indescribable feelings. Music is everywhere. It is in advertisements, on tv shows, on social media, at sports events, in elevators, in church and so much more. Yet left and right musicians are cheated out of money. Making money as a musician has become extremely difficult due to ad-supported online streaming, corrupt…

shelves and clothing racks. My mother never had to beg the church for food or clothes to give to the needy. The only time I saw the pastors involved with her ministry was in directing people to her, and looking back on it now, their lack of involvement tainted my view of what pastoral ministry truly is. When I was seventeen I had the unique opportunity to go to England on a missions trip with my youth group. Bitter sweet tragedy struck when my sister called me from across seas and told me…
