Going back to the idea of surrealism, Stephen Sondheim would be the perfect candidate to compose and lyricize such musical. His own surrealistic views are portrayed in his works including Into the Woods (1987), Follies (1971), and A Little Night Music (1973).

off-campus, may seem a mish mash of little planning, teenage hormones, beer induced chaos and the new found freedom, for some at least, from ones parents. This however is just a superficial observation. The college party scene at JMU is highly ritualized, even regimented.

They will acknowledged that fact that it was due to New York's, huge Disco club and music scene that helped to create the music of House and Garage and its culture within Chicago, Usa. Frankie Knuckles, the acknowledged "godfather" of Chicago house, got his start as a Dj via Manhattan, New York, Usa. Whilst there
I have loved music ever since I was young. All the catchy tunes and captivating lyrics have touched my heart and has had a great effect on my life. Music seems to change what's going on in the world around me. If I feel sad and lonely, I love to listen to upbeat songs which make me want to dance like no one is around and sing like no one is listening.

songs expand the childlike and naïf Starr persona into the musical world of the Beatles from their films. This process is exemplified in three songs, written by Lennon and McCartney, for Starr to perform: “With a Little Help from My Friends,” “Yellow Submarine,” and “Good Night.” “With a Little Help” sees Starr assume yet another persona in Billy Shears, but is still useful in understanding the Ringo Starr persona.

On the winter’s eve of the 27th of February, I attended an indie rock show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg located in the hipster hub of Brooklyn. The Music Hall, owned by The Bowery Presents, was opened eight years ago, and it is a charming little venue that actually holds up to more than its capacity.

Blues music originated in the cotton fields of the southern United States where the majority of the slave hands were put to work. “The earliest folk-blues were sung by nameless African-Americans living and working in the South’s cotton belt in the early 1880’s and 1890’s- in particular, the region from the Mississippi Delta to East Texas”(Barlow 3).

The type of beat to the song is very upbeat and positive and consists of a dance that is usually used for all the Aissawa songs. As for Africa the songs there are a little different for they don’t use words they make noises in their music. South Africa today, Aissawa music has more of a western beat and is generally
