.... die, I am too young. We have everything worked out, everything planned. This was kind of the story between this girl and guy. The girl was stubborn and no matter how many people told her she was wrong in here was, she though she knew everything. Nothing bad could ever happen to her. She kept doing what she was doing and she died. The Boyfriend is weeping over her death but convinces himself there was nothing he could have done. She knew everything and it was her choice, why would she take anyone's advice ? After all she was the one to fall in love. A week is all it took to get over, but how could everything be going so .....

.... prevailed, musical elements of Afro-American culture were showcased primarily in dramas rather than in musicals. In Hall Johnson's "Run, Little Chillun!", a folk drama about the conflict between the Christian and African religious heritage in black life, critics praised the marvelous choral music. While Johnson called his work a drama, Time suggested that he had written an opera, something rarely achieved or even considered by black artists working on Broadway. Although the thought of an opera with a black cast and created by black talent was a rarity, it was not unprecedented. Bob Cole had spoken about an opera based o .....

.... familiar with. The first couple of weeks in the class, we learned the basic elements of not just “classical” music, but all music in general. The next couple of weeks later we listened to music so could utilize the terms we learned. Works like harmony, melody, key, pitch, and chords became more outstanding to me. Next, we started studying the various time periods of Western Europe music. I learned that music started way back 450 A.D. which is also known as the Medieval period. As time passed, music evolved. Then came the Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods. When I think about it, all five of these .....

.... had maybe a little to do with the bands past experiences. It took them forever to make there song a hit, but now that it's there, all they think is about the past, and how terrible it was. Personally, I think that to blame the future on the past is some- what ridicules. The past is over with, you should respect what you have now, appreciate it. Take pride and dignity not, disrespect and harm. To throw a typewriter ( 2) is just so extrodenary stupid, I don't think I can even relate to the person who did this. The way that is said "child's play", has absolutely everything to do with this. I don't even think my 8 year old brot .....

.... the big bands into commercial decline. Eventually, the changed economic realities of touring with a band affected Basie, and in 1950 he was forced to dissolve his large ensemble. For a time he toured with a small group of six to nine players, but by 1952, he had reassembled his big band. This time, written arrangements were normal, and the band had a different sound and style than it had in the 1930s and 1940s. In the 1950s the band featured new soloists. Where as the earlier band emphasized the sound of the soloists over that of the ensemble, the later band favored the ensemble sound of a well-rehearsed, tightly controlled group .....

.... to 500,000 people who converged on the area on August 15, 16, and 17 of 1969. Many expected singers and bands could not arrive due to traffic backed up for miles along all the roads leading to the area. It was said that nearly one million people could have attended the concert if it had lasted longer. Many recognized musicians preformed at the concert such as Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, and many others. Truly by the first day, as the musicians looked out upon the vast crowd, they must have known that Woodstock was not going to be just another concert that would be forgott .....

.... harmony and lyrics, the added use of electronic music techniques, and the addition of the Indian sitar sound. Though the songs were inspired by simple, everyday things, the album was acclaimed as the pinnacle of rock-and-roll's new elegance. The album's finale, John Lennon's, "A Day in the Life", is the album's most disputed track and its most musically ambitious. The British Broadcasting Corporation actually banned this song, because it supposedly had references to drugs. The Beatles were unafraid to challenge the world with their new music, and changed rock-and-roll from what is was, into what it is today. After 10 years o .....

.... Navy and all. Jim’s mother, Clara, met Steve at a Navy dance that was held when she went to visit her younger sister in Hawaii. Jimmy, that’s what his parents called him while he was young; while traveling through New Mexico with his parents in late 1946, “…experienced what he would later dramatically describe as ‘The most important moment of my life”(6). Steve drove by an accident in which Jim saw two Indian men who were dying on the side of the road. Jim was frantically crying and trying to go help them. His father became tired of Jim’s sobbing over what he had seen so he persuaded Jim that it had only been a .....

.... Globally, he has sold over one billion records, more than any other artist. His American sales have earned him gold, platinum or multi-platinum awards for 131 different albums and singles, far more than any other artist. Among his many awards and accolades were 14 Grammy nominations (3 wins) from the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, which he received at age 36, and his being named One of the Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Nation for 1970 by the United States Jaycees. Without any of the special privileges his celebrity status might have afforded him, he honorably served his .....

.... Ike and Tina Turner, Solomon Burke, Jackie Wilson, Littler Richard, Wilson Pickett, and King Curtis (Clifford, pg. 181). Using the name Jimmy James, he toured with a bunch of R & B shows, including six months as a member of James Brown's Famous Flames (Stambler, pg. 290). At the Cafe Wha! in New York, in 1966, Hendrix decided to try singing. Jimi lucked out when a man by the name of Charles "Chas" Chandler from Eric Burdon's Animals heard him at the club and thought he was sensational. When Chas heard him again later that year, he talked Jimi into moving to England where he would really get the chance to start his career (Stamb .....
