She tragically died at the age of The Vietnam War bitterly divided the United States during the s and s, and it drastically impacted the music scene. Some of the most iconic musicians at Woodstock were known for their protest songs. Carlos Santana's signature sound is an infectious blend of rock and roll and Latin jazz. Santana is still popular today, pairing up with artists such as Rob Thomas on catchy tunes. The Who was one of the biggest names at Woodstock. They have an impressive roster of chart-topping albums, including fan-favorite "Tommy. The unique sound of Creedence Clearwater Revival, or CCR to their fans, is so catchy that the band remains popular today. Their work has been used in movies and television shows for decades. He played this plus many more incredible songs at Woodstock. Jefferson Airplane has gone through many transformations in their time, becoming Jefferson Starship and then Starship in later decades. During Woodstock, Jefferson Airplane was rocking out in their original name. Woodstock was held in The Road to Woodstock, New York. Specifically, it was held on Max Yasgur's dairy farm.

Guess what? We have just celebrated our 18th anniversary. Those who try things we recommend are rewarded. We have stayed in business for one reason and that is we have never attempted to appeal to the lowest common denominator as mainstream outlets do. At the same time we recognise that people do have different tastes and to some CMT is actually good. We also appeal to those people and offer many mainstream items in our bargain bin. But the legends and true country music are our bread butter and will always be. If you see something you think you may like but are worried let us know. If you pass our inquisition we may be able to send it on a sale or return basis. I say inquisition because if your favourite artists are SheDaisy and Rascal Flatts we certainly aren’t going to risk something as precious as Justin Trevino. By the same token we believe great music is timeless and knows no bounds. People may think chuck steak is good until they try the best rump! Recently I had the pleasure of seeing Dale Watson.

    THE COMPENDIUM OF AWESOME! THE COMPLETE VOLUME 1 & 2 REVISED JANUARY 2016 The HUG Songbook Volume 1 & 2 A collection of songs used by the Halifax Ukulele Gang (HUG) Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada All of the songs contained within this book are for research and personal use only. Many of the songs have been simplified for playing at our club meetings. General Notes: ¶ The goal in assembling this songbook was to pull together the bits and pieces of music used at the monthy gatherings of the Halifax Ukulele Gang (HUG) ¶ Efforts have been made to make this document as accurate as possible. If you notice any errors, please contact us at http://halifaxukulelegang.wordpress.com/ ¶ The layout of these pages was approached with the goal to make the text as large as possible while still fitting the entire song on one page ¶ Songs have been formatted using the ChordPro Format: The Chordpro-Format is used for the notation of Chords in plain ASCII-Text format. The chords are written in square brackets [ ] at the position in the song-text where they are played: [Em] Hello, [Dm] why not try the [Em] ChordPro for[Am]mat ¶ Many websites and music collections were used in assembling this songbook. In particular, many songs in this volume were used from https://ukutabs.com/, Richard G’s Ukulele Songbook (http://www.scorpex.net/uke.htm), the Bytown Ukulele Group website (http://www.bytownukulele.ca/) and the BURP (Berkhamsted Ukulele Random Players) website (http://www.hamishcurrie.me.uk/burp/index.htm). ¶ Ukulizer (http://www.ukulizer.com/) was used to transpose many songs into ChordPro format.

    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
