Guy Wants to Know About Alicia Keys

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

My nephew is a great admirer of Alicia Keys. He had gone to a concert and that’s where he saw her and was totally besotted with her. Since that day, he used to talk about her to all his friends.  He was looking for Alicia Keys biography and asked me if I had any knowledge of such websites.  I told him that I had information on numerous websites that he could log on that told everything about Alicia Keys. Needless to say, my nephew was overjoyed and thanked me profusely.

Black Eyed Susan

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

“Black-Eyed Susan is a band that has successfully earned its place amongst its fans as well as throughout the music industry. Over the last ten years the Baltimore, MD based group has achieved its goals through the creation of a sound unlike any other today. With Aaron’s soulful nuances, Matt’s high flying guitar work and Adam’s solid and creative drumming, BES is a very impressive musical entity. Their sound is a blend of musical colors ranging from soul, funk, rock, blues and jazz. Along with writing both simple and intricate compositions, the band blends beautiful harmonies that any music lover would appreciate. Each song converges on the listener with the warmth and acceptance that harmonic enthusiasts spend lifetimes seeking out. Adventurous, temperate, intimate and dependable, Black-Eyed Susan continues to surprise and delight even the most veteran devotee. Recently, the band has become a trio which has challenged them and forced them to mature to an even greater level of intensity and feeling. BES has always shared a strong sense of community, friendship, and a warm family vibe amongst its three members as well as its fans. The band prides itself onstage to create a live performance that will touch and tingle the soul of anybody who listens.”

Buying King Musical Instruments

Saturday, April 21st, 2007

If you play a member of the brass family, you will find that King musical instruments are a pretty good bet. I am not saying that a king musical instrument is always the best bet, but I have been playing them for a few years, and have been pretty happy with the results. The real problem, though, with buying a musical instrument is that they are so expensive that you can not really get the chance to try out a few of them before deciding what to get. Yes, King musical instruments are good, but so are Selmer musical instruments, as well as those of many other brands.

Country Western Music

Monday, September 4th, 2006

I am very much a rock and jazz fan and I must admit an aversion to most country western music. As a child, I was subjected to Jim Reeves and Charley Pride, as my Mother was a keen fan. I blame the fact that she was raised in Scotland. For some reason, it seems to be popular there. So, ever since childhood I have avoided country western music like the plague.
