[QUOTE="Raido Free America, post: 3755030, member: 45328"] Music that don't move us emotionally, is just noise! I'm partial to Folk, Bluegrass, Mountain, music, much of which is literally based on real people, and events, usually murder, and ma-ham, but like all music that is well done, and moving! Hotel California, for example. The folk song Tom Dooley is based on a real murder in North Carolina, in the late 1800's. The guys name was actually Tom Dulin, but Dooley sounded better I guess? This was a love triangle, two girls loved a young man, Tom Dooley. One of the girls was found murdered, and Tom was tried, convicted, and hanged for this murder. Decades later the other girl confesed to this murder, on her death bed! Is that a good story or what? Many, if not most, of these oid Folk, Bluegrass, Mountain songs, are a mixture of stories, of real events, and the music styles, brought with the imigrants, from Europe, and other places! Bill Monroe, the Carter Family, Doc Watson, a relative of Bill Dooley, etc. are largely responsible for bringing thijs great music to the general publics attention. [/QUOTE]
