I like Playing The Piano

I just always enjoy playing the piano. Yesterday as I played on the piano, the other musicians became very quiet as they wanted to hear me solo.

Saturday Morning - What Are You listening To?

A few Months ago I visited the land of Soca, Trinidad, located out in the beautiful Caribbean sea. While I was there I took the time out to learn the difference between Calypso and Soca music. I grew up hearing calypso music playing on the radio especially on a Saturday morning. Being the more up... Sign in to see full entry.

Love Songs?

I grew up hearing quite a bit of soul music and songs that talked more about loneliness and heartbreak than love. I just couldn't understand how is it they were called 'love songs'. But what are love songs really? Are they songs that tell us how heart broken it was like when the writer's partner... Sign in to see full entry.

Listening To Classical Christian Music

I am listening to some classical christian music on my laptap and oh my!, it is really putting my mind, heart and spirit at ease. I feel at peace with my enemies and the world...lol and I feel the majestic presence of our Creator. It is so amazing how much music directed from our hearts to the heart...

Music And Moods

If you've got the right music it can transform your atmosphere. Atmospheric control, perhaps not quite. The next time you are feeling blue, this is what you ought to do: Play one of your favorite Cds, mp3 or whatever. Sing-a-long even if you think you can not sing Allow the music to saturate your... Sign in to see full entry.

Is the music helping your culture?

I am appalled at the number of songs leaving our studios that promote everything else but good morals. They bash our ladies and promote rudeness and lewdness. They purport as icons men who don't even know the meaning and value of having stable, committed relationship. The world has an insatiable... Sign in to see full entry.

I Heard A Song In My Neighbor's Garden

I visited my neighbor and his wife. As they showed me to the back of the house I saw a beautiful, well cared food and farming area in the garden. My name was surprised when I told him there was a new song coming from his garden. I immediately grabbed my flute from its case as I had carried it along.... Sign in to see full entry.

Does Music Determines The Culture of The Day?

I asked this question two days ago, Is it music which determines the culture of the day or vice a versa?
