Diolch am fod yn gefn. iv Abstract The desire to recognise the richness, humanity, and cross fertilisation of cultures and identities that built today’s America is the starting point for Braids of Song. Its overarching concerns trace the interrelation between immigration, identity and creativity within a Welsh Trans-Atlantic context. Braids of Song is a mixed-genre collection of stories that acknowledges the preciousness of culture; in particular, the music, which is both able to cross different linguistic boundaries and to breach those between melody and language itself. The stories are shared through four intertwined narrative strands in a mixture of literary styles, ranging from creative non-fiction essays and poems to dramatic monologues.

Before you can free the music in yourself, you need to clear the roadblock that is holding you back from expressing the music freely. Many guitar students struggle with their freedom of expression when playing blues solos, mainly because they believe that ‘blues is an easy style’ and because of this they never focus on blues guitar technique. This mistake causes the student to only get partial results when improvising and lays also at the root of why many struggle to play blues guitar solos effortless. How To Take Your Mind Of Guitar Technique Guitar technique should be practiced in order to take your mind of technique. Once you focused on the right exercises then you will find yourself in a place where you don’t have to actively think about technique anymore (even when playing the most challenging passages, licks, riffs or solos).

  • 3 Love Is a Fallacy
    #3 Love is a Fallacy By Max Shulman Cool was I and logical. Keen, calculating, perspicacious, acute, and astute--I was all of these. My brain was as powerful as a dynamo, as precise as a chemist's scales, as penetrating as a scalpel. And--think of it!--I was only eighteen. It is not often that one so young has such a giant intellect. Take, for example, Petey Bellows, my roommate at the university. Same age, same background, but dumb as an ok. A nice enough fellow, you understand, but nothing upstairs. Emotional type. Unstable. Impressionable. Worst of all, a faddist. Fads, I submit, are the very negation of reason. To be swept up in every new craze that comes along, to surrender yourself to idiocy just because everybody else is doing it--this, to me, is the acme of mindlessness. Not, however, to Petey. One afternoon I found Petey lying on his bed with an expression of such distress on his face that I immediately diagnosed appendicitis. "Don't move," I said. "Don't take a laxative. I'll get a doctor." "Raccoon," he mumbled thickly. "Raccoon?" I said, pausing in my flight. "I want a raccoon coat," he wailed. I perceived that his trouble was not physical, but mental. "Why do you want a raccoon coat?" "I should have known it," he cried, pounding his temples. "I should have known they'd come back when the Charleston came back. Like a fool I spent all my money for textbooks, and now I can't get a raccoon coat." "Can you mean," I said incredulously, "that people are actually wearing raccoon coats again?" "All the Big Men on Campus are wearing them.

The chord chart on the inside cover is complements of Ralph Shaw, http://www.ralphshaw.ca/ Things to help you get around the song sheets: The songs are in alphabetical order except when there is a two page song. The two- page songs were moved so they could be seen at the same time when the book is open flat. There is a table of contents to point you to the right page for a song. S.N. stands for Starting Note - the 1st note of the melody. It is at the top of each song along with the time signature and other information. N.C. stands for NO CHORD. Don’t play chords during the lyric section with this abbreviation over the phrase. “Ritard.” Ritardando —slowing down (abbreviation: rit. or ritard.) This symbol is used at the end of a number of songs and usually means: give each bar or word of the phrase designated twice the normal length – 4 beats, vs. 2. Used as an ending to some songs. A Coda is a symbol used to show the concluding passage of a piece or movement, it is used as a directional sign on a few pages. Repeat Symbols: ||: :|| Anything between these two symbols are repeated – usually at the end of a song – to indicate that we repeat the last line on or more times to end the song. Many songs have had chords simplified so that inexperienced players can join in more easily.

  • Meet Me in the Land of Hope and Dreams Influences of the Protest Song Tradition on the Recent Work of Bruce Springsteen (1995-2012)
    Ghent University Faculty of Arts and Philosophy Meet me in the Land of Hope and Dreams Influences of the protest song tradition on the recent work of Bruce Springsteen (1995-2012) Supervisor: Paper submitted in partial Dr. Debora Van Durme fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of “Master in de Taal- en Letterkunde: Nederlands- Engels” by Michiel Vaernewyck May 2014 Word of thanks The completion of this master dissertation would not have been possible without the help of several people that have accompanied me on this road. First of all, thank you to my loving parents for their support throughout the years. While my father encouraged me to listen to an obscure, dusty vinyl record called The River, he as well as my mother taught me the love for literature and music. Thanks for encouraging me to express myself through writing and my own music, which is a gift that money just cannot buy. Secondly, thanks to my great friends of the past few years at Ghent University, although they frequently – but not unfairly – questioned my profound passion for Bruce Springsteen. Also, thank you to my supervisor dr. Debora Van Durme who provided detailed and useful feedback to this dissertation and who had the faith to endorse this thesis topic. I hope faith will be rewarded. Last but not least, I want to thank everyone who proofread sections of this paper and I hope that they will also be inspired by what words and music can do. As always, much love to Helena, number one Croatian Bruce fan. Thanks to Phantom Dan and the Big Man, for inspiring me over and over again.
