Buckingham Nicks - The Album that was the genesis of the Fleetwood Mac that gave you Rumours
Introduction For many people, Fleetwood Mac began with “Rumours”, or possibly, their breakthrough eponymous 1975 album. Fleetwood Mac for me have had three incarnations,

Host City for Eurovision 2023 To Be Announced Imminently
The decision on where to hold next year's Eurovision Song Contest has been cut down to two cities. These are Glasgow and Liverpool. Ukraine officially won the competition last time round, but due to the ongoing conflict with Russia, it is extremely unsafe to hold the competition there so it was decided that the UK who came in second could host the competition in 2023. There was a wide variety of interest from many cities around the country to host the event. This included expressions of interest from Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle and Sheffield. AS time went on, the judging panel decided the two cities who had the strongest bids and the strongest musical heritage.

Song Lyrics Gone Horribly Wrong
One thing that I’ve always found pretty funny was making up alternate song lyrics to popular music. I learned this from one of my closest friends when we were much younger. We’d be driving around to various places and he’d always have some sort of spin on the lyrics. Typically, they were crude and hilarious.

The Best Bands My Girls Introduced Me To
One aspect of becoming adults and having children is sharing our love of music with our kids. We have a jump start of anywhere from eight to ten years on them in the regard to music choices. We have to make the most of this window of opportunity to set them straight about cool music.

Li’l Beethoven By Sparks
Introduction Yes, this is an album review, although the digital deluxe version of this has three more songs than the beautifully packaged book CD that I originally bought. It is an album that I play quite often but is not a rock album and is more like some classical or musical-based format. This sees a move into a more classical-influenced sound, with a heavy reliance on repetitive lyrics and piano lines, synthesized orchestration and multi-tracked vocals in place of percussion.

The Pure Pitch Method Review
Though not a stand-alone singing course per se, Ryan Cameron’s Pure Pitch Method has the potential to be a helpful tool for singers. The basic idea behind this course is that anyone can develop their sense of musical pitch and obtain the coveted sense of ‘perfect pitch’. In times past it was believed that only certain people were born with this ability. In my personal experience, I’ve seen people that appear to have been born with perfect pitch, though that’s not to say that it can be learned as well.

Last Night, A DJ Shaved My Wife
Did I hear that right? I am sure that we have all been through the same experience with songs that we know and love. We hear a lyric, admire the melody, and then make the mistake of trying to sing it or discuss what we heard in front of a better informed audience.

Top 10 Beer Brands in the World
The change serves a necessary purpose in the craft beer industry. Craft breweries must adapt in accordance with the changing intended demographic. The target audience, the Millennial generation, is intrigued by how, why, and when their beer is made. The number of new craft breweries has increased, and well-established businesses have created a wide range of novel products. It makes sense that there is a fierce rivalry.

To the Seven Bulletproof Boys that came so far.
To you, Seven, ~If I were to compare you to something, my choice would be a simple flower. Simple yet stunningly pleasing. A flower that is powered by large spread of strong root system, A flower that has seven petals binned together where when one falls all are weak, working collectively in the rain or hail. As the plant grows the flower will continue to look pretty despite age. But the flower has made a mark, that shall remain forever in hearts~

Mahopac Tenor Drummer Enjoys Stepping in Place with Bagpipe Band
Photo by Jon Wick The Blackthorn Pipe Band can usually be found ascending 5th Avenue every March 17 in New York City, where they proudly march to the Irish spirit of St. Patrick. They also answer the call for a number of other parades and celebrations in Yonkers, Peekskill and White Plains throughout the calendar year. Either way, each piper knows how off they sound if going without practice for a week or so. That said, everyone else in listening proximity is well aware if the lapse lags past a seven day stretch, according to the band’s tenor drummer, Cathleen Benson of Mahopac, New York. But there’s more involved in being part of this type of band than just having the pipes to make this ancient Irish instrument sing triumphantly.
