History and music

What I really love is music.  There is some thing good about all of it or there was at one point in time.  I've spent an hour listening to baroque then the next hour of punk acid as my Dad calls it.  I've been able to read music since I was 10 and I've been singing long before I can remember.  Not where other people can hear of course and never very loud I've always been way to self-conscious about every thing related to whenever I open my mouth.  I know the second I think I don't have to be careful about what I say or do I'm gonna mess up. But you can read about that rant on the other one I'm going to post this week.  Back to music.  At the beginning of the school year I was in a music appreciation class.  Ha... That's what they called it. The guy sat there reading from a text book half the time. The other half he spent playing random instruments and saying "now this is a quarter note..." Ugh. The guy had just graduated from Byu and thought he was the most hilarious thing ever put on this earth. Um no. That could go on another rant but I'm gonna stop it there and save that story for another time. The point I was getting at with the story was I could have listened to an hour of a radio talk show about the history of music and learned about as much if not more. What passes for education these days seriously... "sigh" well at least in music. Some of the types of music that I listen to on a daily basis are Renaissance, Classical, Baroque, Romantic, Rock, Hard Rock, Country, Pop, Opera, Musicals, Hardcore, Metal, Scremo, A capella, Jazz, Instrumental, Soul, Indie, Techno, Church. The list of musical genres goes on forever spanning thousands of years of extremely diverse cultures. Then those have all their sub groups and variations of each person that does it. If you'll notice I didn't put Rap up there. In my opinion they just dropped a "C" some where... If any one wants to educate this poor soul you're welcome to try. I fell the quotes below goes for all music.
