Music Life Song
757 words
Some people will look at a music score like it is
a piece of paper from Mars. All it is to them is a
bunch of black dots on five horizontal lines. But
to me, that paper is something much, much more.
That paper is my lock, the key is my drumsticks.
When my drumsticks touch my drum, it is more than
sounds that echo throughout a room, it is an
endless note of harmony to my ears. With those
sticks I can play anything, make music that
describes my feelings, my thoughts, my words.
Those sticks are mor...

Hip Hop Four Stages

trip to Cincinnati. Here we saw many of our
favorite bands perform during the evening on Main

War plays a significant role in shaping human
history. The rire's of war can temper a man until
he is unbreakable, or they can melt him with their
heat. For Kurt Vonnegut, the flames of war do
