Blues Music

Blues is a vocal and instrumental form of music based on the use of the blue notes. It emerged in African-American communities of the United States from spirituals, work songs, field hollers, shouts and chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballads. The use of blue notes and the prominence of call-and-response patterns in the music and lyrics are indicative of African influence. The blues influenced later American and Western popular music, as it became the roots of jazz, rhythm and blues, and bluegrass. In the 1960s and 1970s, a hybrid form called blues rock developed from the combining of blues with various rock and roll forms.

Acting Karma

For anyone pursuing acting or modeling, it is always good to understand the options and standards for each. Go to acting/modeling to find out the proper steps you should take. Actors generally perform on TV, appear in motion pictures and in theatre. It is standard practice for actors to audition in order to secure a job. Models also appear on TV and film; not so much in the theatre. Models also perform, but mainly at photo shoots or in runway shows.
