Rap isThe New Rock and Roll ? Kanye Believe It?
Introduction This post from Seven Days In on the Glastonbury Festival of 2015 has been getting a lot of traction so I thought I would share it on Vocal. It has my thoughts on Rap, Rock, and Kanye West. It was written in 2015 so some bits may be out of date, but you may still find it interesting.

Musical Antiques Sing Their Own Stories
“Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without. These lines are very correctly expressed by Confucius, a Chinese philosopher also considered the paragon of Chinese sages. The ability to play any musical instrument is a feeling of immense pleasure.

Matriphagy by Tallah
Horror fiction has had a profound influence on art over the years. Typically, when horror is mentioned, people think of movies. Some might even think of books, graphic novels, movies, TV, video games, and maybe even shorts/reels, creepypastas, and campfire tales. What they might not think of, though, is music.

Address the Stress. Content Warning.
The tension, stress, and or drama that has surrounded Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion has flummoxed anyone with a connection to the Internet these past few days. Like two divas duking it out in sneak disses and off-putting phrases, the rappers have found themselves caught in a battle where shots have been fired but seemingly, no rounds have fully penetrated.

A Potpourri of Songs
********************************************************************** It was my maternal grandmother that loved Perry Como. He was popular from the late 1930's on through and well past the 1960's, having thirteen #1 top hits. She was born in 1892, so this makes sense. I liked listening to his music with her. In elementary school music class, we learned this song, Moon River. I remember singing it to her. Dean Martin described Como's voice as "relaxing." I also remember another singer, Andy Williams who was popular in the 60s-70's. He, too sang Moon River. I think I liked his version the best.
