 My
Music
I guess you could say we are a pretty musical family
even though we are not musicians, except for my wife,
who is actually a pretty decent piano player. Hopefully
this changes soon though, as we plan to get all of our
boys into playing some form of music soon. We turn on
music in the morning and listen to it throughout the
day, everyday, until nighttime.
From Jpop to Kpop to Bollywood to Classical to Jazz to good ole Rock and
Roll, we pretty much listen to it all.
I tend to go on music binges from time to time such as
it was with Bollywood, Lounge, and a few other genre
which have yet to find their way to these pages. Drives
my wife absolutely crazy listening to the same type of
music for weeks at a time, but she is always a good
sport about it....um except for Techno and Psytrance
which she insists makes her nauseous. The upside of all
this is exposing our kids to different music from
different cultures. Keeping these young minds open and
accepting to many things is our goal as parents who are
raising their kids outside the norms of society. In
addition, a lot of the music being produced today is
trash. The music that I grew up with, from the 60's,
70's, 80's, and 90's, was in my opinion, the best music
ever made. I wanted to make sure our kids can know and
access this great time in musical history. And hopefully
they will give their kids the opportunity to enjoy this
music as well.
I began making this music section many years ago, circa
2012, while still residing in the hot and humid
countryside of Nara, Japan, and long before I got
involved in the time consuming "hobby" of
farming....another story. Needless to say, these pages
kinda "went by the wayside" in favor of spending my days
growing food for my family. This being the case, many
genre are not listed, obviously, and there is a great
disservice to many of the performers who have only a few
songs listed. This is especially true in the Rock and
Roll section with bands like The Beatles only showing
links to a handful of songs....again, blame farming for
this. Hopefully I can get back to these pages eventually
and make them much more complete. For now, please enjoy
the music already listed. |

 Rock and
Roll Music
Rock and roll (often written as rock & roll or rock 'n'
roll) is a genre of popular music that originated and
evolved in the United States during the late 1940s and early
1950s, primarily from a combination of African American
blues, jump blues, country, jazz, and gospel music.

 Bollywood
Music
Bollywood is the informal term popularly used for the
Hindi-language film industry based in Mumbai (formerly known
as Bombay), Maharashtra, India. The term is often
incorrectly used to refer to the whole of Indian cinema;
however, it is only a part of the total Indian film
industry, which includes other production centers producing
films in multiple languages. Bollywood is the largest film
producer in India and one of the largest centers of film
production in the world.

 Mediaeval Music
Medieval music is Western music written during the Middle
Ages. This era begins with the fall of the Roman Empire and
ends sometime in the early fifteenth century. Establishing
the end of the medieval era and the beginning of the
Renaissance is difficult; the usage in this article is the
one usually adopted by musicologists.
