Soothes The Savage Beast!
Please Enjoy...
We enjoy all types of music ranging from patriotic! to soft and low and anything in-between. We have collected a lot of files in our Midi collections and even some special MP3's. Paul's favorites are generally an odd collection of music, good for a laugh!
We Played Music
Our parents made us take an instrument as it was part of growing up in the 1950's and 1960's. Sue played the piano and clarinet. Paul selected the squeeze-box commonly called an accordion. Why? We can both read sheet music and can still after 50 years play a few tunes when we are out and about!
The Accordian
An accordion is a musical instrument of the handheld bellows-driven
free reed aerophone family, sometimes referred to as squeezeboxes.
The accordion is played by compression and expansion of a bellows, which
generates air flow across reeds; a keyboard or buttons control which
reeds receive air flow and therefore the tones produced.
The Clarinet
The clarinet is a musical instrument in the woodwind family. The name
derives from adding the suffix -et meaning little to the Italian word
clarino meaning a particular type of trumpet, as the first clarinets had
a strident tone similar to that of a trumpet. The instrument has an
approximately cylindrical bore, and uses a single reed.
Clarinets actually comprise a family of instruments of differing sizes
and pitches. It is the largest such instrument family, with more than
two dozen types. Of these many are rare or obsolete, and music written
for them is usually played on one of the more common size instruments.
Music And The Family
If we were given the task of assigning music to ourselves, our family and friends........ who should get what?? Interesting question! Let's see!...... but don't ask why!
And. you have to figure out the tune!!!!!!!!

Music Defined
Music is an art form consisting of sound and silence expressed
through time. Elements of sound as used in music are pitch (including
melody and harmony), rhythm (including tempo and meter), and sonic
qualities of timbre, articulation, dynamics, and texture.
The creation, performance, significance and even the definition of
music, varies according to culture and social context. Music ranges from
strictly organized compositions and performances to improvisational or
aleatoric forms. For purposes of discussion and exploration of the
topic, music is divided into genres and sub-genres, although the
dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often unclear
and/or controversial. Within "the arts", music can be classified as a
performing art, a fine art, or an auditory art form.
