Mambo in New Zealand

Origin:

Mambo originated in Havana, Cuba in the 40s. The Mambo was originally played as a Rumba with an emphasis on 2 or 4. Once introduced, it fast led to other variations. Although Mambo did not last long and is only danced by advanced dancers today, it led to other styles that became popular such as Salsa and Cha-cha.

Music:

Mambo is an up-tempo dance rythm, usually around 200 bpm. Mambo, like Salsa is played in 4/4 with all 4 beats being evenly accented. Like a lot of Latin American rythms, percussion forms a very important part of the music.

Dance:

Mambo is probably one of the toughest dances to learn, especially is you are already used to dancing one of the other Latin styles like Salsa. Although the music is 4/4, the stepping is quite different. The steps are taken on the second beat as opposed to the first beat, which is one of the main differences that throw most dancers off. The other difference is that the weight change takes place three times in every four beats whereas only two steps are taken!

Latinos NZ Popularity Scale: 1/10

Mambo is rarely danced in Latin clubs in New Zealand, and is rarely taught in training institutes.

The History of St. Louis Imperial Swing Dancing

There are a total of eight swing dance clubs located in and around the St. Louis area (including M.U.S.I.C. in Collinsville, Illinois) that are members of the Midwest Swing Dance Federation, and all of these clubs are descended from the St. Louis Imperial Dance Club that was founded in 1973. The largest of these sister clubs, the West County Swing Dance Club, has the distinction of being one of the largest swing clubs in the United States with an active membership that totals more than a thousand dancers.

Imperial Swing got its name from the Club Imperial located at Goodfellow Boulevard and West Florissant Avenue. The building, originally called Imperial Hall, was built in 1928 as a dance hall, bowling alley and restaurant/bar complex. In the 1930s and 1940s, it was the dance spot of Northwest St. Louis, just as Arcadia (later called Tune Town), the Admiral Showboat in Midtown, and the Casa Loma on the Southside, were the most popular dance halls in their respective areas. In 1952, George Edick Enterprises purchased Imperial Hall and George Edick renamed it the Club Imperial. During the early part of that decade, he operated the club as a ballroom with the theme of "a nice place for nice people." He played "big band" music and catered primarily to private parties. He was able to regularly book guest appearances with popular performers like Stan Kenton and Louis Prima because Robert Hyland, of CBS and KMOX radio, broadcast his weekly "Coast To Coast with Bob Hyland" program from the Imperial Ballroom.

During the late 1950s and early 1960s, Edick realized that the country's taste in music had shifted to "Rock 'n Roll" and he used his advertising-public relations firm, to aggressively promote the Club Imperial on KWK, KXOK, WIL and WGNU. The Joe Bozzi Quintet, Jimmie (Night Train) Forrest, Chuck Berry, Dolly Parton, the Monkeys, Glen Campbell, Ike and Tina Turner and a small vocal group now called the "Fifth Dimension" are among the many artists who began their careers at his club. He promoted a "Jitterbug" contest where a couple from the Club Imperial (Teddy Cole and Kathy Burke) won the National Jitterbug Championship. During the "Rock 'n Roll" craze, Edick held Tuesday "Teen Night" dances, and it was during these weekly dances that a jitterbug variation that became known as the "Imperial Style" of St. Louis swing was born. As the 60s progressed, music trends were changing again. The 'roll' started dropping out of "Rock 'n Roll," the 'rock' got harder, and the teenagers increasingly attended loud, psychedelic music concerts. Because the freak-out beats of their acid rock music was almost impossible to dance to, Edick gradually discontinued all public dances at his club.

In the 1970s, George Edick wanted to reintroduce more listenable and danceable music at Club Imperial and he found that hosting swing contests was just the ticket! He got together with Teddy Cole, the Jitterbug champion who was also a dance promoter in his own right, and they decided to sponsor a yearly St. Louis Jitterbug Contest "Imperial Style" to pick a "City Champion." These widely publicized contests prompted many of the older, experienced dancers to come around the club again, and Edick sponsored a number of "Salute Dances" to introduce these old timers to the newer dancers. As more and more people began learning the Imperial, they began organizing into small dance groups that met in apartment complexes around the St. Louis area, and George Edick kept in touch with many of their leaders.

In 1973 Al Morris conceived the idea of forming a club, and it was his group that first met at the San Miguel apartments in St. Charles which became the St. Louis Imperial Dance Club. The founders are: Dave Cheshire, Jan Cheshire, Rick McQueen, Joan Fritz, Debbie Dustman (Wheelis) and Veronica Lynch. The new club alternated their dances between Lynch's apartment complex in South County and the Wood Hollow apartments in West County. Edick contacted the Board and he told them that he was very interested in helping their club to fulfill their mission to keep swing dancing alive. The great promoter convinced them, with a persuasive new adaptation of his original 1950s theme, that their growing club should hold their future dances at his Club Imperial ballroom because it's "a nice place for nice people who like to swing dance!"

Good mottos never die but unfortunately people do, and on June 11, 2002 George Edick passed away. The building is silent now but it stands, not only as a landmark where Imperial Swing all began, but also as a tribute to a man who, over his colorful, eighty-six-year lifetime, was able to convert his dreams into reality . . . not a bad epitaph!

Buy In Brazil, Experts Advise

Brazil (Federative Republic of Brazil)is becoming an increasingly popular destination for real estate and property investment amongst the British, according to an industry expert.

Resort Group International, an impartial advice service for those wanting to buy, rent or resell property overseas, has said that investors in Brazil will get a good return on their investment (ROI).

Lawrie Smith, accounts manager at Resort Group International, said: "Brazil is never likely to be as popular as France and Spain because of the geography, but as far as long-haul destinations go, it will probably be one of the most popular resorts."

Mr Smith explained that Brazil is a similar distance from Europe as popular investment destinations, such as Florida and the Caribbean, but that property is significantly cheaper in South America.

Brazil's economy is in good shape according to a report entitled 'Foreign Investment in Latin America and the Caribbean, 2007', published by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC).

The report states that Latin America and the Caribbean received a record figure of almost $106 billion in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in 2007, due to regional economic growth and sustained global demand for natural resources.

Brazil's GDP (PPP and Nominal) is the highest of Latin America with large and developed agricultural, mining, manufacturing and service sectors, as well as a large labor pool. The country has been expanding its presence in international financial and commodities markets, and is regarded as one of the group of four emerging economies called BRIC.

Spanish Language Schools in Argentina Give Students a Cosmopolitan Experience

Spanish schools in Argentina are very common. The reason behind it probably is that of 25 living languages in Argentina, Spanish is the most commonly spoken language with more than 350 million people speaking the language natively. It is the official language of some Latin American countries. The irony is that only Spanish speaking country outside the continents of North and South America is Spain. So, Spanish language schools in Argentina are quite many in number and people prefer learning it here too.

Learning Spanish in Argentina is always advantageous. There are many good Spanish schools in Argentina and those located in Buenos Aires the capital city have added advantages.

The capital, Buenos Aires is one of the cosmopolitan cities of Argentina. It makes the city a hub of both political, travel, cultural and entertainment connections. It goes without saying that when you are admitted in some Spanish language schools in Argentina you get an add on of spectacular scenic beauty along with the course. Spanish schools in Argentina, particularly Buenos Aires and Bariloche justify the belief. Here you will find everything from opera theatres to bars and restaurants. Happening social life outside the premises is eagerly ready to keep you occupied during the learning tenure.

Studying in Spanish language schools in Argentina is an opportunity of life time. And if you can enroll yourself in Latin Immersion School conveniently located near Buenos Aires downtown in Recoleta, there could not be anything better than that. Latin Immersion School is one of the leading Spanish schools in Argentina. It's a high profile learning institute with twelve classrooms and common places in the building. To top it they have a patio at rooftop for barbecue in summer. All the rooms have wi-fi, so you do not need to plug in your laptop or PDA phone with internet connection. Wherever you are in the premises, you stay connected.

The courses offered by Latin Immersion Spanish language schools in Argentina are designed in such a way that a fresher as well as someone who knows Spanish would get equal time to learn the language. They adopt modern techniques to impart lessons. They make groups of no more than six members so that interaction with the instructor gets easier. Standard regulation of the course assigns twenty hours a week of classes leaving enough room for self study and improvisation in home.

However, unlike many Spanish schools in Argentina, Latin Immersion School emphasizes on teaching on one to one correspondence. Keeping small groups is one of the reasons. It facilitates substantial level of individual attention. With paying extra but a nominal price, students can take advantage of extra classes in Argentina as well as Chile.

Location of Latin Immersion School is spectacular. If you are a partying sort, Recoleta has restaurants, bars and discs in premise's vicinity. If you are a quiet person and enjoy your own company, then there are parks, quiet and calm custom made for you. Lines of coffee shops, sporting events, world class theatres add a cosmopolitan touch to the persona of the students.

For usual and long weekends the nearby and faraway tourist destinations will lure you towards them. For sea lovers, there are beautiful beaches on Atlantic like Mar del Plata, some 400 kms from Buenos Aires. There are Iguazu Falls, Perito Moreno Glacier and snow capped mountain ranges.

Even few years ago Buenos Aires happened to be one among the costliest cities of the world. But with the economy crash their lifestyle has become quite reasonable. So the students of Spanish schools in Argentina now can enjoy great yet cost effective food in cosmopolitan ambience of a world class restaurant.

Buenos Aires is regarded as Latin American Paris because it boasts of Europe-like sophistication with the charm of native Latin America. Number of open air cafes, vibrant locale, happening nocturnal life with portens performing salsa and tango all night. Undoubtedly you will get all means of cosmopolitan entertainment in Buenos Aires. So other than the courses, Spanish schools in Argentina have lots more to offer.

Apart from Buenos Aires, Bariloche also has some of the great Spanish language schools in Argentina. It has a branch of Latin Immersion School too. It is their smallest school. If Buenos Aires is Paris then Bariloche is Aspen of South America. In the Andes Mountains, Bariloche is situated on lakeside. A perfect destination for ski, white water rafting, trekking and other adventurous activities add volume to the language courses offered by Latin Immersion School and other Spanish language schools in Argentina.

Latin Immersion School offers the same curriculum in all its schools in each country. So there is provision of shifting base without hampering your classes. If you prefer quieter atmosphere to pursue your Spanish classes, Bariloche is a better option for you. With a meager population of 100,000, place is serene and a perfect resort town. However, even Bariloche has not been spared of the cosmopolitan wave. Restaurants, pubs or coffee shops are increasing in number to cater locals, tourists and students coming to Spanish schools in Argentina from different parts of the globe.

There are many Spanish language schools in Argentina but the curriculum of Latin Immersion School has been planned in a way that one course week has to include overnight excursion to remote or nearby colonial countryside, tango shows, watching shows in top class theatres of the world and many more. The Latin Immersion Spanish schools never let you be overburdened with curriculum. Colorful cosmopolitan life in spectacular scenic landscape rejuvenates your exhausted spirit.

Spanish schools in Argentina, be it in Buenos Aires or Bariloche, aim at your fluency and full grip on the language. It helps you get the actual feel of habits and life led by the portens. So immersing yourself in the rich heritage of the country is an integral part of the curriculum. You can utilize the time between the classes by taking tango classes and attending salsa parties to know the nation better. Latin Immersion School, one of the most successful Spanish language schools in Argentina ensures that your language learning is enriched with not only the native inputs but also with the cosmopolitan experience that the students definitely undergo in Argentina.

http://www.latinimmersion.com/learn-spanish-argentina.html
Latin Immersion School provides exclusive curriculum in extraordinary locale. It justifies your choice of selecting it over other Spanish schools in Argentina.

Guitar Lesson: How To Improvise The Classical Guitar Way

When I was a fifteen years old guitarist playing rock solos and classical guitar pieces I remember that I had a desire to be able to improvise on my guitar in a classical manner.

Nowadays I have developed this skill and I love to improvise in the style of composers like Sor, Tarrega, Paganini or others or just trying to find myself somewhere among the notes. These special moments are a form of meditation. They clear my mind and also helps me as a composer to stimulate my creative abilities.

The most important reason for learning classical guitar improvisation is that it's fun!

If you learn classical guitar improvisation it will benefit you in many other ways too:

1. It will be easier for you to memorize classical guitar sheet music.

2. You will find it easier to compose your own guitar pieces in a classical guitar style.

3. You can make up your own techniqal exercises on your guitar on the go.

4. You will understand your guitar better.

There are many ways to develop classical guitar improvisation. How?

You can start with major scales, experimenting with easy chords, or easy classical guitar pieces. The most basic requisite is that you want to learn this art and with this desire you will find ways to practice classical guitar improvisation in all your guitar playing.

I will just mention using classical guitar pieces in this article. But how do you begin?

May I suggest that you begin with an easy melody with just one voice or maybe a two voice piece with bass notes on open strings. Learn a couple of bars by heart and play the melody over and over again and try to change the melody slightly without losing the classical touch.

The ultimate exercise is to use advanced classical guitar solos.

If you think about it you will realize that classical guitar pieces are filled with wonderful licks, more or less complicated.

These licks can be developed and added upon to give you material that will help you developing your improvisational skills.

For example, take a two bar passage in a classical guitar piece that you like and practice it until you master it and then memorize it.

Now you can play around with the passage, break it down, change it, analyze it and so on. If you want to improve as an improvisational guitarist and musician you can regard classical guitar pieces as collections of very musical licks just waiting to be used.

I hope these hints will motivate you to reap the benefits from improvising the classical guitar way.

Blades And Slippers

Many figure skating moves and techniques are based on ballet. Skaters who have a background in ballet should be able to transfer the positions and principles from ballet to skating. It is precisely this closeness to dance, and especially to ballet, that sets ice skating apart from any other sport. Although ballet and skating are similar, you have to think of them as two different worlds. There are many moves in skating that are similar to ballet, but you will have to break some ballet rules to get it right in skating.

The skater needs a strong core body to connect the upper and lower body for controlled powerful movements. He must be able to keep his shoulders over his hips throughout jumps, spins, footwork and edges. He must also be able to check his shoulders against his hips. Thus it is to the skater's benefit to become aware of the feeling of twisting in the middle of the torso, and also the feeling of staying square.

Figure skating and ballet require balance, strength in the legs, and ankle strength. They both use the same muscles, so ballet really helps figure skaters. Flexibility, balance, body alignment/posture, extension, and strength are just another reason to incorporate ballet to your figure skating. Many of the poses in skating are found in ballet, for instance arabesque, leaps, Rond de Jambe, Pli, etc. Ballet teaches the skater how to move the pelvis without losing balance or disconnecting the center in footwork sequences, including pirouette turns, jumps and leaps across the floor.

The entire foundation of ballet is poise and posture gained through core strength, making it the best way to learn how to present oneself and become graceful and elegant on the ice. Ballet helps with beauty and grace. Ballet dancers have a natural elegance in the way they carry themselves. The way their legs, back, arms, hands, feet, shoulders, and neck are aligned, always seems to have that flair grace. They have great posture.

Figure skating is ballet on ice. It can be one of the off ice training you implement to your skating for form and balance. Ballet uses body, mind and expression and while on the ice you have to express yourself as well. With ballet, you have a broader sense of how to perform, and to interpret and express your music as you tell your story or convey your emotion through the connecting steps of the program. This is what make the difference between a program that is all jumps with a lot of crossovers or stroking between the jumps, and a program that is interesting, artistic and pleasant to watch. Just as a dancer sweeps you away with her grace and flow and hides her/his sweat with a flourish, a skater will prepare you for a delicate show of artistry, acrobatic leaps and gentle arabesques.

The following is a brief summary of common terms and positions with which skaters should be familiar.

Rond de Jambe - A rotary movement of the leg.
It can be done in a number of ways, such as on the
floor with knee straight, or in air with a circular
rotation of the knee from bent to straight.

Pli - A bending of the knees with hips, legs, and
feet turned outward.

Arabesque - A position in which the dancer
stands on one leg with the other leg extended in a
straight line to the rear. The position of the arms
and the height of the raised leg may vary.
There are certain set positions in ballet for the
arms and particularly for the feet which give the
ballet dancer a particularly pleasing aspect as well
as providing a starting point for particular moves
and interchanges.
Skaters who have a background in ballet
should be able to transfer the positions and
principles from ballet to skating.

Foot Positions
There are five basic ballet foot positions that
are common to all teaching methods.
The feet point either in opposing directions either
in a straight line, or offset with one foot in front of
the other.

Radio Play - Will Topping The Charts Make You Bigger Than Elvis?

Every true life rock n roll television melodrama has the same scene: the unknown artist/band gives their freshly cut 45rpm single to the local disc jockey. He spins it on his top 40 radio showand a star is born. This legend has been passed down through the generations of wannabe popstars like an ancient family recipe. The ingredients may differ, but in the end you get the same glorious results: radio play equals fame and fortune.

But does this Top of the Charts fairytale still apply today in the sardonic post new millennium world we call today? Can a band in our current music scene walk into a radio station with a CD single in their hot little hands, impress and wow the DJ with their enthusiasm and chutzpa, obtain the magic and golden FM radio spins and then ride the wave of success all the way to Graceland? Well, then, I guess the real question would be, Do you believe in fairytales?

Unfortunately, the music industry, like the entire Earth, has become so overpopulated and so oversaturated with artists, music, CDs, and radio stations/shows of all kinds, that the chance of your own personal radio fairytale coming true is probably slim to none. But, dont give up on your favorite audio media outlet. Radio may not catapult you to instant superstardom but it certainly can help to push you down the path to success.

The following are a few tips that will help you to make your own music fairytale and get your music heard throughout the airwaves:

1.) Get Out Of Major Market The Top 40 Station Mentality---There was a day when getting played on a big city Top 40 radio station was like winning a gold medal at the Olympics. Bands that were chosen for play were handpicked by the voices of the airwaves whose ears were finely tuned to pick out the next new rising star. Today, things are a little different. Radio has become a huge corporation with three major conglomerates owning most of the stations in the United States. Sadly, Disc jockeys are no longer the innovators their predecessors were. Station management hands down a playlist (made exclusively of artists signed to mostly major labels) and the voices you hear on your radio are just thattalking heads animating a script. Its nearly impossible for an unknown band to break into mainstream large metropolis radio and a waste of your time and money to send packages blindly to a medium that will more than likely reject you again and again.

2.) The Specialty Show Is Your Ticket In---Still determined to get played on that hot radio station with 10 million listeners and a celebrity DJ? Well, there is a backdoor that you may be able to slip through. Its the specialty show. Many huge stations feature a weekly show structured just to highlight the little guyto showcase unsigned artists from that stations area and sometimes beyond. These shows are always worth sending your press package to, as they tend to base their playlist on your music and your credentials on not on the typical corporate artist roster. This is where you just might wow that innovative disc jockey and garner play on some of Americas biggest stations.

3.) College Radio Still Rocks---One area of radio that has stayed unaffected by the huge corporate retooling is the college/university station. Unlike companies/labels deciding what the listening audience thinks is cool or hip, college radio DJs and program directors are still setting their own cutting edges, breaking new artists, and finding the hot fresh stars of tomorrow hiding in their local clubs, coffee houses and garages. Its always beneficial for unsigned artists to send as many CDs (or email as many MP3s, if the station will accept that medium) to as many college stations as you can find. You will find stations to play you and people will be listening. This could lead to new fans, tour possibilities, and will definitely look fantastic on the radio page of your website or EPK. Whether or not it will actually make you a rockstar, it will sure make you feel like one.

4.) The Unlimited World Of Independent Radio---Back in the early days of radio, indie stations were limited to audio pirates in their basements stealing airwaves from unsuspecting Top 40 giants. Now, thanks to the internet, satellites, cell phones, iPods and cable TV, independent stations outnumber their AM/FM constituents in the thousands and new ones are created every day. Since doing a search of indie radio stations online has been known to cause a brain embolism in some, know that you will probably never be able to solicit them all in one lifetime and just relax and enjoy sending music to whomever you can, as you will probably garner hoards of airplay. Furthermore, your wallet will grow to love you as most of these stations will allow you to submit MP3s online.

Its true that the legendary story of the unknown band that got one single played on the radio and became superstars within a month is probably as outdated as the 8-Track tape. But that doesnt mean that the process of artists soliciting music for radio play has become archaic. Radio remains, to this day, one of the best ways for musicians to promote their music and their projects in their area.and now, thanks to terrific technological advancements, nationally and worldwide. The repetition of your single in the ears of even the most jaded radio listener, may lead to: CD and merchandise sales, gigging opportunities in your city and others, visits to your website, posts to your fan club forums, potential press and even maybe industry attention. So, dont stop sending those CDs, and emailing those MP3s because the next person who hears your song on the radio might just be the one who leads, either directly or indirectly, to your much sought record deal. And who knows? You might just wind up becoming bigger than Elvis.

Developing A Conflict

One of the most important things you can do in a scene is find the conflict. Whether it is a monologue (internal conflict) or a scene with a partner (external conflict) there is always something that is at stake for the character you are playing. Think of it this way, if there is no conflict in a scene why are you watching it? People do not want to see everyday activities, they want to see drama.

With that being said, the question of how to find the conflict arises. First off let's define what conflict is. Conflict is two opposing forces trying to get what they want at the same time. For instance, one character wants a bag of money and the other character wants the same bag. This creates dramatic tension as both the characters will try by whatever means necessary to get that bag of money! What makes the scene interesting is the conflict between the two characters and the bag of money. If they both decided to share the bag of money and went happily on their way, there would be no reason to watch. It would be absolutely and excruciatingly boring.

People watch movies and plays to be transported away from reality. They watch it because it is often times much more interesting than their everyday life. If you do not find what your character wants in the scene then you might as well not even be in it. It will be boring and unentertaining without knowing exactly what forces are opposing you and how to overcome them. However, if you know what your objective is and you know how to attain it, it will add brilliant dimensions to an otherwise dull and pointless character. Think about scenes that really stand out in film or theatre and what makes them so great. Usually it is the tension between the two characters over something very important at stake. Don't take my word for it, just watch some of the great films and the conflict that gives them life.

Belfast Festival at Queen's

The Belfast Festival started out in the 1960s as a small campus event held at Queen's University in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It was organized by a young student named Michael Emerson. From then on, it continued to earn acclaim that after ten years it started to attract eminent personalities such as Jimi Hendrix, Dizzy Gillespie, Laurence Olivier and Ravi Shankar.

Amid the political upheaval of the 1970s the Belfast Festival helped bring about progressive change in the cultural renaissance of the city, revitalizing its cultural and arts scene. In the 1980s, Michael Barnes assumed directorship of the festival and it was during this time that the festival was expanded into a two-week long celebration. Celebrities like Billy Connolly, Rowan Atkinson and Michael Palin took part in the festivities.

The festival also started to feature performances from the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Moscow State Ballet, among others. The festival is known for its staunch advocacy of local work, paving the way for local artists and performers to be introduced and be recognized by the international community.

The festival brings together the best in theater, classical music, comedy, visual arts, dance, folk and popular music, literature and jazz. Each year, the festival features cultures from many different countries like France, the United States and South Africa.

For 2008 the festival celebrates its 46th anniversary coinciding with the centennial celebration of Queen's University. It will commence with the Ulster Bank Opening Concert on October 17.

Highlights from past Belfast Festivals:

Belfast Festival 2007

Although the 2007 festival was threatened by a scarcity in funding, organizers were able to celebrate its 45th year and once again were able to secure the festival's reputation for bringing out the best that the UK culture has to offer.

The government awarded the organizers a 150,000 pound grant to help cover expenses. The Arts Minister, Edwin Poots also pledged a grant of 300,000 pounds over the course of three years for the festival. Highlights from this year's celebrations include Ute Lemper's cabaret performance, music from the Tiger Lillies, an adaptation of Macbeth and a performance from Raphael Bonachela- a choreographer who works with Kylie Minogue. Other guests include John Prine, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Sean Hughes and Bill Bailey.

Belfast Festival 2006

The Spiegeltent, an art nouveau pavilion that showcased first-rate performances ranging from global musical entertainment to comedy presentations was one of the main features of this year's festival. Another highlight was the performance of Jose Cura, one of the world's leading tenors. In this year's festival, the organizers also presented Crackers, a combination of spectacular fireworks display and musicals as well as other live performances. There were over 15 participating countries in the festival including Somalia, Sweden, Norway, United States, France, Cuba, Spain, Argentina and Russia.

Belfast Festival 2005

This year's festival opened with a concert featuring Marianne Faithful along with the Ulster Orchestra. Other noted performance was that of Lithuanian production of Romeo and Juliet, an adaptation of A Clockwork Orange and traditional Irish music from the band, Dervish.

A Chuck Wagon Story - Cookie and the Rabid Skunk

My great grandfather, T.E. Mitchell ran a large cattle ranch in NE New Mexico in the late 1800's. This story came down through the family. I believe it's true, but have no way of fully proving it.

During branding season a chuck wagon was used to move around from pasture to pasture and feed the cowboys after their days work, as well as waking them up to breakfast each morning. T.E. had a cook they called "Cookie"; not very original, I know, as most chuck wagon cooks were called that in those days.

One morning just about dawn when the men were still dozing, my great grandfather awoke to hear Cookie singing a little ditty to himself quietly. TE rolled over and looked towards the back of the chuck wagon where the cook was kneading dough for biscuits. Cookie was very into his work and once in a while, as he sang, he would do a little jig and dance to the tune.

However, as Mitchell watched, he saw in the dim firelight a small shape off to the side. It was difficult to see in the early light, but the shape was moving. It seemed like a small black blur and would move toward Cookie and then back off a little. As he watched, my great grandfather finally realized it was a skunk, and it was about to bite Cookie! As the cook sang, the skunk would spring forward only to back off again when a dance step was orchestrated.

TE always slept with his 30-30 next to him on the bedroll, so he grabbed the rifle and spoke very quietly. "Cookie," he said," I'm going to shoot at your feet, Jump!" Mr. Mitchell had a soft spoken voice, but it carried authority, and as the words left his mouth, Cookie jumped right up onto the chuck wagon tail gate and landed in the middle of the dough he was kneading.

The shot was a good one and the skunk was killed instantly, not even able to discharge the dreaded skunk smell. They knew it had to be rabid to attack a human like that, and in those days a bite from a rabid animal was often fatal. So, even though the cowboys had to go without biscuits that morning, they continued the roundup in good spirits.

My "Cold Case" TV Fantasy - Getting Lilly and the "Cold Case" Detective Squad Busted!

I watch "Cold Case" on CBS regularly even though I admit I hate the shows Detective Squad as well as how each case is solved by an unnecessary confession from the killer and then the victim's ghost appears like in a music video, the end. No, I'm not on crack!

The thing I hate most about "Cold Case" is the detectives attitudes. They think they have the right to go gangbusters and accuse every person they interview of being the Anti-Christ. These suspects in turn say they didn't do it and like musical chairs turn the arrogant detectives onto another person to smirk at and be nasty too.

At the end of each episode, without any real solid evidence that would actually get the murderer tried in court or convicted, the killer who has concealed his "perfect crime" for like forever, suddenly decides without a lawyer present, to confess. Magically, the victim's ghost then appears in a trance like kind of music video to swirling or slow dancing music. The end.

I realize "Cold Case" is supposed to be dramatic entertainment for which writers take dramatic liberties to fit the show in an hour format but its a lot easier for me to suspend belief for a show like "Prison Break" then "Cold Case". "Cold Case" tries to present itself in a somber realistic manner but there are a lot of people watching who say, Bogus Man!

If I had my way, as payback to the detectives, I'd do a sequel to a previous episode where it now turns out that the detectives, pressured "the obvious killer" to give a false confession and he's found innocent in Court and truly never did the crime. It would make a great season finale and give the detectives pause for thought on their methods. To top it off, you could have the Ghost of the victim then appearing when the killer is found innocent, finger scolding the detectives to the music of "Ride Your Pony" and see the innocent non-killer smiling with a big grin. The End.

Types of Guitar

Hey,

In this article I will be basically showing you the different types of guitar. This article is based at first time beginners.

There are two types of guitars and then two different styles of those two type of guitars. So we will start with the acoustic guitar. The acoustic guitar produces noise by the sound waves echoing through the hollow body. There are two style of acoustic guitar which are:

Nylon: A Nylon means that the strings are made out of nylon. The top strings may look like they are made out of steel, but in fact they are coated (with a special type of metal that I cant remember the name of) and are made of nylon in the inside. Nylon guitars are great for the classical sound and relaxation. Since these guitars are soft stringed I highly recommend them to any beginner as they help you get the gist of playing guitar.

Steel: A steel stringed acoustic guitar have strings that are made out of steel as you would have guessed. These guitars here are generally played either strumming or finger picking and can create a relaxation sound or a catchy beat. Many artists use the acoustic guitar like Jack Johnson and Pete Murray. These guitars can be hard to play for some people as it requires you to push the strings in pretty hard on the fretboard to make a clean sound. You can get acoustic electric guitars which are still a still stringed electric but have pickups inside the hollow body.

Now we get to the electric guitar. Electric guitars make there sound by the pickups located under the strings. The sound is "picked up" with these and sends the sound through a cord to an amplifier. This then amplifies the sound which can be changed by the different knobs located usually at the top of the amp. The two types of electric guitars are:

Solid Body: Solid body guitars are steel stringed guitars. These guitars are generally used in Metal, Rock, Blues and Pop Music. These guitars are great because if you turn the distortion up, it can sometimes hide your mistakes. It is better though to practice in a clean sound so that you get used to perfecting the notes and getting a good nice clear sound.

Hollow Body: These electric guitars also have steel strings. These are basically the same as a solid body but as the name suggests they are hollow. Sometimes they are only hollow by the f notes you see on the old fashion basses, Chellos ect. These guitars are generally used in Jazz and blues category.

Now strings. Guitar strings are wonderful because they come in many different types. If you are a beginner you should start off with low gauged strings so you can develop how to play the notes clean and well. Strings should be changed regularly because the oil on your fingers and other chemicals in the air damages the strings an can make the sound of your guitar not as good (bad phrasing).

Well I hoped this helped please visit my site and view free lessons at http://wiseguitar.com
