... Mathews Band was capable of. “Dancing Nancies” encompasses life in its theme by raising an important question about it, “Could I have been anyone other then me?” Some people would read this question and see nothing more then a simple sentence. Perhaps focusing on the media exposure, they are often the ones who fail to grasp true understanding of the music. Others, however, read this same simple sentence, but dig deeper into the meaning of the question. These individuals search for an understanding greater than the interpretations fed to them by pop culture. In doing so they discover parallels to their everyday lives and feelings hidden in the music. I have often asked myself, “what ...
... popular were the "fine concerts by Turner's Silver Concert Band."2 The newspaper reports that the popularity of "these concerts have always heretofore drawn crowded houses.2" In the style of other articles, the paper comments that the "merit of the music will ensure to the concert an abundant success"2 Musical performances in Franklin County were much the same.

... or rhythmic chanting of poetry or song also accompanied it. It is only in the recent century that guitar has been added to this selection of instruments. The music of Hawaii is a very beautiful harmonization between voices and instruments. The native Hawaiians are known for their vocal ability when it comes to singing. The women’s voices can often times reach an impossibly high soprano note with considerable ease while the men are also able to reach high notes otherwise considered difficult by most men in other areas of the world.

These types of instruments include gongs, triangles, and xylophones. Shaken idiophones were usually cups or shells that contained rattles or pellets, the shaking of the shells and cups produced a sound. There are many ...
... Within moments, we were talking like old friends, sharing horror stories about the drive up, complaining about the heat and anticipating the next few days. Random acts of kindness surrounded us for the whole weekend. I saw a boy climb through the mud to get someone he had just met a bottle of water. As the sun went down, a man gave a woman his sweatshirt so she would not be cold- again, they had just met. Conversations were exchanged between people that had nothing in common, other than the fact that they were at the same concert. I saw this going on all around me and I was fully appreciative of it- I just wish that everyone was saw the beauty in these simple human actions. I wa ...
... Alice in Chains, Sex Pistols, Sublime, Iggy Pop, the list goes on and on. Together, these bands have sold more than 60 million albums(Newsweek pgs 50 & 53). Since kids emulate popular musicians, what is there to keep them from emulating their drug use? Moreover, what's to keep the majority of the population from doing the same? In the 60's and 70's, drug use was never spoken of nor did anyone admit that it was a problem. Nowadays, there is not a person in the world who hasn't heard about the rising drug use.

The book or should I say short story continued on as only King could, people dying , strange conversations and just weirdness in general. Now, I told that little story because I wanted to give you a little background on why I chose this subject. What would have happened if Jimi Hendrix had lived? His music lives on even today. When he was alive he only release 3 studio albums and if you go into the stores you probably will find no less than 10 different albums from him. Today's kids and people supposedly in the know, like to put music into different categories. Rap, Alternative, Ro ...

... about which there is substantial literature. Also, A Deadhead, according to the authors of Skeleton Key: A Dictionary for Deadheads, is “someone who loves -- and draws meaning from -- the music of the Grateful Dead and the experience of Dead shows, and builds community with others who feel the same way” (Shenk 60).
