Number of words: 513 - Number of pages: 2.... dulcimer came to Europe from the East sometime
in the fifteenth century. This cannot be true. The dulcimer is closely related

Chinese around 1800. A similar traditional dulcimer found its way to Korea in

Porgy And Bess
Number of words: 1932 - Number of pages: 8.... many of the dramas that had to do with black life,
music became a necessity. In the 30's this trend 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

drama, Time suggested that he had written an opera, something rarely

"There have been tragedies and incredibly inspirational experiences along the way," says Kiedis, "but the one thread that has been consistent has been the desire to create something honest, soulful and powerful. When we were making music 12 years ago, we were making it because it felt good and we wanted to do it and we're still making music because it feels good and we want to do it."
"If I've learned anything through the freaky tribulations of this experience," added Kiedis in a recent Rolling Stone interview, "it's that all of the setback .....

obviously beginning to grow musically. They had moved from simple lyrics
like "Love me Do" to harshly aware reflections of life in their home
country in "Eleanor Rigby"2. There were attempts, some more successful than

Harrison made this leap successfully with such tracks as "I want to tell
you", "TAXMAN", and the psychedelic "Love you to". Ringo was featured in
the humorous "Yellow Submarine" As the group matured, the .....

Music And Censorship
Number of words: 1899 - Number of pages: 7.... them? It exists like wanting to ride with a blind driver rather than one with perfect vision. In addition many of the musicians use drugs and stimulants to satisfy their hunger for themselves and for pure fun. The musicians tend to use drugs massively, to get out of the very real world that they consist so much a part of. Popularity seems pleasing but when one has the affections and total devotion of a mass of people, that person can not handle it because that person does not have Jesus' personality and only He could truly control that much fidelity. One person who truly could not handle the .....

The three placed flyers all over campus and the first replay was Mike Gordon which joined the band soon after. Unlike Fish, Mike received for .....

Number of words: 827 - Number of pages: 4.... the stand approximately 20 minutes later than scheduled. When the concert began, I immediately came to realize how very lucky we were to have these seats. In fact, they were probably the best seats we could possibly have had because close-ups of the performers were projected onto three large screens during the entire concert.
The concert began with Overture to Norma, played by the San Diego Symphony Orchestra. Conductor Marcello Rota then stepped down to escort Bocelli, who had been blinded at the age of six, onto the stage. Bocelli appeared to be at home onstage; without touching anything .....
