Music I know

Doing this has showed the different kinds of music but it makes the music I listen to more out there. Now a days people don't listen to country music but I still do. I think it has a lot of values to teach people and it is never going to get old in my eyes. Music shows the kind of person you are and the things you believe in when you are growing up and I believe country music made me into the person I am and made me believe the things I believe in. No matter what you listen to everyone can relate in some way to one artist or one song imperticular. But one song that will always mean the world to me is the song that me and my dad have.

Country Music

Country Music originated in the rural regions of the Southern United States in the 1920s. Country music often consists of ballads and dance tunes with generally simple forms and harmonies accompanied by mostly string instruments.  They brought some of their most important valuables with them, and to most of them this was an instrument: “Early Irish settlers enjoyed the fiddle because it could be played to sound sad and mournful or bright and bouncy."  Radio, and broadcasting, became a popular source of entertainment, and "barn dance" shows featuring country music were started all over the South, as far north as Chicago, and as far west as California.  For several decades Nashville session players preferred the warm tones of the Gibson and Gretsch archtop electrics, but a “hot” Fender style, utilizing guitars which became available beginning in the early 1950s, eventually prevailed as the signature guitar sound of country.

Change in Music

Lately I have started listening to all different kinds of music and pulling away from just country. When you listen to one music your whole life new music is weird. Its all different and they all have a very different sound. Its not that bad when you get the experience of new things. Try new things all the time you will be surprised what you actually like.
