    Belo Fleck Earth Jam Song

    The set starts out with every member of the band coming out on stage one at a time. Some of the instruments I recognized and was familiar with, such as the saxophone, clarinet, bass, and drums. They introduced a variety of instruments that looked either homemade or sounded strange to me, like the electric banjo, drumitar, and synthesizers. There was a bit of scat vocals done by Victor Wooten as well. One thing I noticed in this song was the repetition. I think the bass line was constant throughout the entire four minute long song. The set looked very non-Western to me, especially the rugs that were laid down in the middle of the stage. Almost the entire song had a mixed meter and…

    Right from the beginning, the song had a noticeable blend of different styles of music, from Oriental, to folk, to southern gospel and reggae. This was further emphasized through the many different people from all over the world singing the same song in their own style or with their own instruments.

    It has been a joy to be in your class Dr. Petersen, thank you for all the musical knowledge you have given to me this semester. Prior to this class I had no musical background and I had never played an instrument. I have always been interested in the history of music and its evoltion through the ages. I am extremly grateful for you shedding light on the different cultures and their musical preferneces. It really broadened my horizon because all I use to listen to was hip hop and now I am listening to jazz , classical, and am overall more open minded. Hopefully I will put this information to good use in the future as I am trying to be a DJ and I will definitely sample famous legends like Bethoven and Duke Ellington because their works laid the…

The e-Blotter System is a priority program of PNP Chief Director General Nicanor A. Bartolome, which geared to “enhance the crime reporting system for effective law enforcement, public safety and efficient administration of justice” by utilizing modern technology, such as computers and the Internet. With E-Blotter, information on a crime complaint will be encoded directly to the computer, and the regional headquarters will automatically get a copy of the report. This will also allow officials to monitor police responses and development in a case, at the same time provide real-time crime data to field commanders that will eventually guide them in their crime prevention efforts.…
