Are you going to stick with the Kobe sore back excuse, or are you going to use a combination of multiple excuses? You still have 2 games to decide, but you should start concocting your ideas now. You don’t want to wait for the last minute, and not have your excuses figured out.

I Have A Metal Frame Pool And Need To Replace The Liner, Where Can I Get One?

MetalMaster (admin) — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 01:40:24 +0000

I was given a pool with the metal poles that hold up the liner and the bottom ripped, and now I can not find the right liner for it. I am not even sure what type of liner it is. It is not beaded or overlap, it is the kind that you slide the top poles through the loops in the top of the liner and the pool is held up by the poles. The outside of the pool is also the liner.

How Have The Blues Helped Shape The Sound Of 20th Century Popular Music?

MetalMaster (admin) — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 07:45:31 +0000

One way is structure. The Blues is based on a three-chord pattern: I-IV-V (1-4-5), and usually through a progression of eight or twelve measures/bars. This framework can be heard in the popular music throughout the 20th Century.
The Blues has also influenced popular music in form, usually taking the form AAB and call-and-response. Many cultures from around the world use call-and-response, as well as in West Africa. In the United States, it was first heard in church music and field hollers, which also had an influence on the Blues. A preacher or a lead field hand would call out a verse, and then the congregation or laborers would repeat the verse back. A strict interpretation would be:
I, A, Call
I, A, Repeat/Response
IV, A, Call
IV, A, Repeat/Response
V, B, Response
Another way is the the use of “blue” notes. Typically, they are described as flatted thirds, fifths, and sevenths (from the major scale), but they really are lowered by semitone. Semitones are not found in Western music, but are prevalent in West African music (an influence of Blues music) so Blues musicians found other means of achieving them: by use of the human voice, bending the sound pitch of a harmonica, bending the strings of a guitar, or by use of a slide on the neck of a guitar. Blue notes are so widely used, and are part of the popular music language, they sound perfectly normal, and usually go unnoticed.
Up until the 1950s, featured instruments were usually piano, saxophone, or clarinet. The guitar was a band instrument, rather than a solo instrument; however, with the popularity of musicians like Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley, and electric Blues musicians like Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, and BB King, the guitar became the driving force behind popular music.
I’ll post this for now, and probably come back to it later….
Up until the first half of the 20th Century, music was segregated the same as the country. Records made by African Americans were called “race” records, and played only on radio stations also defined by race. Even big bands of the Pre-war Era were not integrated, and white was marketed to the general population, while race records and black bands were marketed only for the black market; however, that did not stop many whites from getting the records. That might seem like a strange statement now, but back then, a white kid from Brooklyn would have to go to Harlem in uptown Manhattan to purchase black music or see black bands perform. This was actually the case of my father.
The real crossover began with Sam Phillips who had a record label in Memphis called Sun Records. The short story is that Sam was a big blues fan, and wanted to find a white singer that sounded black–meaning, someone who could sing and perform in a blues style, yet be white and appealing to whites. He found that exact performer in Elvis. This opened the door for a flood of music, black and white. Many black artists were sought-after by record labels, and white record-buyers, too. They were looking for music by Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and Bo Diddley, but the music was still classified by race, just as it was in the decades prior to the 1950s.
Record companies started recording hit black music but covered by white performers. They knew that kids were buying the black music, but wanted to cash in on the larger, mainstream market. However, to paraphrase Little Richard, the white kids had Pat Boone’s versions of “Tutti Frutti” and “Long Tall Sally” out in the open, but his records under the bed…. until mom and dad went out.
But by the close of the 1950s, popular music was once again changing, and many black musicians found themselves without contracts, ripped off, and very broke. At the beginning of the 60s, many blues, rock n roll, and r&b artists began playing in Europe, and influenced all of the early British Invasion bands, to include The Beatles, The Animals, The Rolling Stones, Them, The Yardbirds, The Pretty Things, etc.
