MuSic Assignment1
Well..well, Such a great time to have a chance to listen to rarely music by orderly arrangement. At which was provided a sequence divided by the ERas. Since, From Folk music to Negrospiritual to Gospel to Blues and Early Jazz..
I prefered the Negro Spiritual. I thought of the feeling of freedom, the transmit sound was requested by the kind of especially instrumental & Chorus.
For example the Dem Dry Bone..there are some the woodwind band and the Melody of Harmonic.
Gospel music, I will Follow him, this song i'm familiar with becuase i've heared form Little Peggy March's version, before. Coz,My Mom&Dad love some kinds of the Oldies song.And I never know before this song come from Gospel Music!
As Arjarn said that Rock & Roll music has got an inspiration from Blues. That's supposed to be true. the Beating drum from Jimmy Reed in Big Boss Man can be shown exactly!!An Early Jazz, 1920's New Orleans -- it's a very beatiful sound.
Ahh, I forgot to talk about the Folk music. The emphasizing on the Folk Guitar with a
main conductor with the singer would might be talking to the Story of the Land, Their places ,love & the march to inspire with courage of territory.
You guys can here from the Rose of Alabama , The Battle Of New Orleans--Johny HortonAllright, I'm very enjoy of listening to the musics.There were a lot of the details which i think i can't talk untill finish. Lucky on you, everyone try to do so.
After we are entirely watched the movies. One way to consider that's Listen to The music you can imagine and feeling of impress.At the same way of studying American History...

good man, finished all works.
moo-grobbbbbb
I will let okharpman visit with you on the music. I do believe that you are indeed a musician and thus out of my league. I will request help for any comments and have okharpman send you merrily on the hunt for the musical side of American culture.
Happy huntings and do not forget to blog, blog, blog.
Woh..woh, Not that actully. I 've just a boy who love to listen some kind of Oldies songs and trying to study the kinds of historical& Artistic study which is come from the songs. I am not even play any instrumentals.But I love to Listen & Listen...More.(It depends on my emotion as well,)I'm so glad to hear that PaPa Del will make a comment on my page!!
Ah, the Battle of New Orleans. Part of my reportoire, that means, I sing it all the time. Lots of trivia on this song.
The Battle occured in 1814, AFTER the British waved the white banner and said, "We give up." No telegraphs back then, so Colonel Jackson nor the British troops knew anything about the war being over.
This song was sung by Johnny Horton who died in an air accident with Patsy Cline, both, two of the greatest Country Western Stars of their time.
The Battle of New Orleans song was written by an Arkansas history teacher. It was a big hit, and so a few more, historical songs hit the air-waves at that time, including Sinking of the Bismark, which Johnny Horton covered as well.
I'm going to spend this comment on the Battle of New Orleans.
In 1814, we took a little trip,
Along with Colonel Jackson down the Mississip'
Typing the song is hard on my back. Find the whole song here
http://www.armystudyguide.com/content/cadence/running_cadence/in-1814-we-took-a-little-.shtml
There is so much history here, it boggles your mind.
First, it gives you a date that the battle happened.
It mentions, Colonel Jackson. What is his nickname? This is the same Jackson that became a president.
We didn't fight the British fairly. Britain was used to lining up in a line and fight, straight on.
What did Colonel Jackson's men do? What were they hiding behind? Remember, we talked about, in Chantelle's post about Cotton Was King.
So we know that the mouth of the Mississippi was already dredged out in 1814 to allow boats to moore to pick up the tons of Cotton being baled and then awaited at the port to be sent to Thailand or the whole world. So, the levees along the Mississippi can be dated back to this war? Right? Right. Before a port is usuable, it has to be deep enough for the big ships. The New Orleans port doesn't belong to Louisiana or New Orleans. It belongs to the United States and to the war.
We are talking lots of bales of cotton, here. Can you hide a whole company of soldiers behind two or three bales of cotton. Find out all you ever wanted to know about the early, historical process by googling, "Cotton bales+weight, and then tell us how much a bale of cotton was.
Bloody British. What a laugh? We don't use the word "bloody" like the British do. "It was a bloody mistake, mame and we will take care of the bloody thing." Is that funny or what?
What was Colonel Jackson's nick name?
What was the plans to kill the British soldiers, and believe me, they did.
When were they supposed to shoot?
What were the British doing as they marched?
What did they call their guns? Probably muskets, but squirrels are good to eat and Mr. C, has eaten squirrels before. You shoot them in a tree with a shot gun.
It has a funny verse in it. If you shoot a shot gun enough, the barrel, will end up get very hot.
When the couldn't use their guns, what did they use? This is a joke.
Okay, now here is my fun verse, and when I sing it for kids, I sing it faster than they can read.
They ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. CHORUS:
I don't remember who likes tongue twisters, but sing that fast. Go to iTunes and listen to how the song sounds. Maybe Mr. C. will download the whole song and let all of you hear it.
I like to give the kids the song on a paper, each, and then, let them sing a long with me, until I get to the chorus and I blow them away, singing faster than they can read.
Then I dare them to keep up with me. So I sing it again, even faster. Then one more time, faster than they can possibly read it, because I have it memorized.
I also have "The Auctioneer song memorized, and I love to do it. An auctioneer is one who sells things and talks fast. I do the same thing in The Auctioneer song." I start out very slow, and then speed up every verse until I get to the chorus, after the auctioneer comes back from school and I sing the chorus so fast than not a kid in the class could keep up with me.
If I wanted to be an auctioneer, I could be one, because I can do the auctioneer speak, very fast. Tongue twister fast.
I've gotta 5 dollar bid, now who'll give a 6, 6,6, 6, who'll give six, got a six bid now who'll give a seven now who'll give ten, ten. When you get into the teens you can do it even faster.
LeRoy Van Dyke sang this country song, and he was a certified auctioneer.
Ouch! I will make more comments on music in another post, on your website. I cannot live without songs. I am working on memorizing my "Woody Guthrie Song Contest," next month. You have to write your own song. Mine is entitled, "Play'in ol' Custer Down" It's a great song, and I am working on it. Once I get it memorized, then I will work in the harmonca, and while Sassie is sitting on my lap, she will sing too. She loves to sing with a harmonica.
Buy a diatonic Huang Harmonica, and learn to play it. I have some Huang harmonicas. You want the harmonica that has 10 holes, only, not divided into a top and bottom hole.
If you get one, I'll share with you how to play it. Bro C is part of the reason I learned to play the harp. Ask him why.
I love Gospel Music. I just got in the mail, a J. D. Sumner CD with the Stamps Quartet. The Stamps backed up Elvis, in his last 10 years or so.
We heard the Stamps at a church and I was hoping that J.D. Sumner would be there. Nope. Some guy named, Richard Sturbin was singing the bass part. We had Darla then, and we left earlier.
So what happened to Richard Sturbin. J. D. Sumner was crowned the "Lowest Bass in the World," and he could go down below the lowest not on the piano. Look up J. D. and Richard. I also sat with Hovie Lister for 3 hours talking about Gospel Music. Who was Hovie Lister? I think we should have a picture around here, with me talking to Hovie. Harmonica's are big in Gospel Music. I mean real big.
My oldest daughter seems to be going with a Vietnamese young man, whose dad, collects guitars. He's really American, Vinn, because he cannot speak Vietnamese at all.
Negro Spirituals. I love'em. Right now I am listening to "The Blind Boys From Alabama." These guys are incredible. They have been singing together, since they met at the Blind School in Alabama, in the '30s. Can you believe they can still sing? I have their album with Tony Harper, plus one of them alone. Also they are on the Randy Travis album twice. They have been on Jay Leno twice, and after all this time, they are being recognized with Grammies after 50 years on the road.
I love 4 part harmonies, of any breed, even the DO Woop kind. Read my post on Do Woop. Go to iTunes and listen to "Mr. Bassman." Do Woop is big and always will be. I wished I had been born in Philadelphia or New York, where they gathered to sing in close harmonies. It is incredible.
But I love Gospel Quartets. I sing bass in the choir, but I am really a baritone. In the newest Gospel Album I have it is J.D. Sumner and the Stamps, featuring J.D on 3 of the songs.
Elvis always wanted to be a bass. He thought J.D. was the greatest singer in the world. J.D. helped him get started. You can find some documentaries on Elvis and his Gospel Music. He loved it. He never walked into the RCA recording studio, with music in hands. He didn't need it. He could memorize a Gospel Song in only 10 or 15 minutes.
If he had had his rathers, he would have been a bass singer for a Gospel Quartet. Everyone else would have charts, but not Elvis. Elvis once said, "I have every Gospel Song ever sung, memorized," and I believe him.
Check out Andre Crouche. I sing a couple of his songs and have been for nearly 40 years. If its Gospel, I love it. If it's 4 part harmony, I love it.
If it's playing a musical instrument, I love it. More tales of music, later on.
"Music is love and love is music if you know what I mean." Type that into google and see what you come up with. Who wrote it? What's the rest of the song? Yep, I sing it.
Right now, I am playing a China made Ukelele, or a uke. It has four strings. It is easy to play. Just tune it up by using the Internet. Lots of teaching places. Haven't figured much what I can do with the highest string, but I use it when I am bar chording. I also play mandolin and guitar. Can you sing? It helps you if you can sing, because you have to learn to play fast enough to keep up with your singing. I have taught hundreds to play the guitar.
Oh...okharpman comes to visit my Page, as an honour for me, Can I call you as Ajarn Dale, "Music is love and love is music" I am strongly agree,upcoming details it would be read, later on when i organize everything finish from now//Yes, I can sing!you know,It's my extra class to learn about the basic to Minor scale or Major scale.It's just utterance, sth like ah..ee..u..ei..O, like that. But, I can't read musical notation or score. but, I'd love to. -Thank you again-//catch you later!
Yes, you can call me ajarn, Theerapat. I have been a teacher for lots of years. If you can sing, then you can grab a Uke and learn to play it. I can read music, but not very good. Most people who play guitars, do not read music, at all, but "sing by ear." What does that mean? It means, if you hear something you like, you will listen to it so much that you learn to sing it. That is the only way to learn a harmonica. I use my ears so much, that they have become calloused! That is a joke.
Here are even more great historical songs. "I've Been Everywhere." Johnny Cash sings that, and it is a geography lesson.
"When Its Spring Time in Alaska, It's Fourty below," "North to Alaska, Go North The Rush Is On," "WaterLoo," "16 Tons," and "Six Days on The Road and I'm Gonna Make it home." I sing the last too. I love the first one. And "Stewball." It is public domain. Don't get the one that Peter, Paul and Mary sang. It was worthless. Go back to the source and you will fall in love with that song. All kids like horses. Takes three chords. D, Em and A, and do lots of hammering off and on with the strings. That means, lift a finger and press it back down while you are playing.
Your teacher lived in Alaska. Ask him what it was like. My old principal taught in Alaska for 2 years and he ended up crying everytime he heard that first song. He was so Depressed that he and his wife came back HOME to Oklahoma, and never considered moving somewhere else.
I have between, 800 to 1000 dollars worth of Harmonicas. I am glad you like music. Show me someone who is interested in music, and I'll show you a person who will do well in life. The same goes for fishing.
Papa Dale
You did a really good job.
Excellence!!!
^-^
Okay, Ajarn Dale, This time I'm trying to find FRank Shubert,one of thai ajarn advice me to be listened to his. And Now, I bought one CD of GRIEG, I open when i'm going to sleep because let the song absorb by the ear. Now and then,I love Cliff Richard's songs
"Theme for a dream",'Evergreen tree' and Connie Francis--"Tennessee WaltZ" the most great beautiful waltz , the other one is
Sue Thompson; 'Sad MOvies'& Willie can. Allright, If i can remember any to say, i will creat a new post again.
It sounds like you are doing great. Like I said, I listen to a lot of Gospel Music. The Gospel singer I like best is the late, great, J. D. Sumner, the world's lowest bass. He is listed in the Guiness Book Of Records has having hit the lowest note among basses. He was Elvis's idol. J.D. Helped out lots of people in the music industry. Shoot, that dude can make your speakers rattle, he goes so low. I'm Jealous.
