Fil-Am Vets Rondalla
What are some other books that may interest me?
Here’s a list of books that I’ve read so far…
How to Do an Autopsy (home edition)
So You Want to Eat the Dead?
Games With Corpses
Children’s Burial Guide
Fornicate for Salvation
Famous Fingerings
Torture Instruments Through History
Richard Scarry’s Book of the Dead.
Helter Skelter
In Cold Blood
These books are flagged by libraries and then you’d be "Big Brothered" by the government. Or, is this some made-up idea that I saw in "Seven"?

What is that music they play on sportscenter during the top HR’s in a franchises history?
There are no words just instruments that sound like violins and other instruments
I don’t know what music you’re talking about. I just saw the Brewers top HRs segment and it was just some generic ESPN highlight music with synth and guitar.
Maybe they play something different every night

Anyone else think Music History class is a waste of time in schools?
not talking about actually playing an instrument, participating in band, or chorus but learning about old composers and stuff like that.
No.

Where did the harp originate from and what is its history?
Where did the instrument originate from and what is its history?
Please give me the Bibliography of the information you found
thanks
Harps were most likely independently invented in many parts of the world (sic!) in remote prehistory. It is often said that the harp’s origins may lie in the sound of a plucked hunter’s bow string.
A type of harp called a ‘bow harp’ is nothing more than a bow like a hunter’s, with a resonating vessel such as a gourd fixed somewhere along its length. To allow a greater number of strings, harps were later made from two pieces of wood attached at the ends: this type is known as the ‘angle harp’.
The oldest depictions of harps without a forepillar are from 4000 BC in Egypt. and 3000 BCE in Persia (see Music of Iran). While most English translations of the Bible feature the word ‘harp’, especially in connection with King David, the Hebrew word is nevel, a type of lyre with 10 strings and not a harp at all. The kanun is a descendant of the ancient Egyptian harp and was introduced to Europe by the Moors during the Middle Ages.

I have to do a project in music world cultures. I have to make a homemade instrument and write a report.Help?
I am taking music in world cultures, and for our next project we have to create an instrument and write a report about the instrument and it’s history. Is there a world instrument that is easy to make and has easy to find information about? Thanks.
Here’s a website that might help you. The cajon’s ( is a kind of box drum played by slapping the front face (generally thin plywood) with the hands) description sounds easy enough to make.

Thoughts on the following comment made by one of our nation’s greatest persons in history?
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people; it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government."
–Patrick Henry
What are your thoughts on this statement? Have we lost sight of that as a country?
All thoughts are welcome, but I ask that everyone be civil.
Our constitution was created by people who believed that the power should lie with the people. They did not have faith in government. Slowly over hundreds of years, the people have given up their power to the government. We have given up our freedoms in the process. We are slowly becoming slaves to the government. Many people are now dependent on the government in order to survive. When the constitution was written the federal government did not take care of any of the citizens. They provided a national defense, delivered the mail, took a census and negotiated foreign policy. As we have slowly over the years let the government into our lives by giving them the responsibility of educating our children, providing our food, providing our health care, providing our retirement, etc, etc, etc. We have lost our freedoms and have become dependent on the government and in many ways become a slave to it. They now take money out of our checks before we get them, they tell us we must have certain shots to attend school, tell us what forms we must fill out, etc, etc, etc.
