Music and Family!

Hey ya'll! AC Garbade here again! So I decided to interview my mom for this music and family blog and l learned a lot of new things  about her style of music and how it has developed over the years, so let's dive into that now. I asked my mom what she listened to as a child and she told me that she listened to "New kids on the block". I researched them and two of the members of the band were Mark Wahlberg and Donnie Wahlberg which is super surprising and funny. I also asked my mom what she listened to in her late high school and into early college and she loved the old, classic country, specifically Patsy Cline and I absolutely love some of her songs. We both especially love the song "Crazy" by Patsy Cline. It is such a good piece of music, it is here below so that y'all can listen to this great piece of music.

Patsy Cline's music career was sadly cut short when she died in a plane crash in 1963 in Tennessee. So she could have had many more years and songs, such a tragedy that she died so young.


One of my moms favorite songs when I was younger was "The Lost Get Found" By Britt Nicole. My mom loved Britt Nicole as an artist all around, but this was one of her top picks from Britt Nicoles albums. Britt Nicole isn't as present anymore, but was a big christian artist in the early two thousands. I actually performed this very song in my first grade talent show, which is quite humorous. The music video of her song "The Lost Get Found" is below, so ya'll can take a listen.


My mom's favorite song today is "Gratitude" by Brandon Lake. She has this song on all the time and it is one of my favorites as well. As a family we mostly just listen to worship music. Brandon Lake is a newer worship singer and we listen to a lot of his songs, but "Gratitude" is probably our favorite. It is here below for ya'll to take a listen to.



Family means a lot to me! I would probably define family as my blood family, but also my church family. My immediate family is my mom, dad, and sister. I also am close to my aunts, uncles, and cousins as well. My church family means a lot to me, so I wanted to include them as well. They are always there if I need them!

    Hi AC! I love your blog and your meaning of family. I don’t think I’ve heard of Pasty Cline before, but I listened to the song you attached and I love her voice! It’s so sad that her music career had to get cut short due to her passing.

    Hey AC, I've never heard of Patsy Cline but it's so sad that she died in a plane crash so early in her career. I've also never heard of Britt Nicole but it's so cool to hear that she was a big Christian artist in the early two thousands.

Music and Gender!

Hey ya'll! It's AC here again! Today I am going to talk about the specific attributes that play into music and gender, especially in specific cultures.  We have discussed many cultures in this class, so I am going to have a diversified blog where I touch on different attributes of cultures in my blog. I am going to start off discussing "Ho wy hey yo-six nations women." This is a piece in Native American culture that we discussed that the voices of the singers are all women. This one of the few that was all women's voices, so I wanted to touch on this one. The attributes that go into this piece are shuffle dance, shakers, drums, and a tremolo pattern. Usually in Native American music males and females have corresponding roles, but seeing this highlight of women's voices was beautiful to hear and see. We see deep culture in this music as well which is very interesting! I am also going to touch on the music of the Andes with gender roles. Men are mainly the instr...

Music and Rituals!

 Hey ya'll, it's AC Garbade here again! Today I am going to talk about music and rituals and how they go hand in hand in todays world more than we think! My church back home is a baptist church and Christmas is very important in celebrating Christ's birth. We have a tradition/ritual of doing a candle light service shortly before Christmas and one song that has been played at this service for as long as I can remember is "Silent Night". This song is probably the first Christmas song I was introduced to as a child, i love this song very much and have an attachment in a way to it! In Africa a ritual for weddings and cermeonys is playing songs of Praise. There are many music rituals in Africa, but i chose weddings and ceremonys to see the detail of these services. I chose Africa to learn more about their music and rituals as well as the country in general. This is because I have always wanted to do Mission work in Africa and this is a key thing to be knowledgable abou...
