Reminiscing on the days when I was young and couldn't even understand the coded mastery presented in the music from such a celestial pair, I welcome nostalgia. Being from the west side I had a specific idea of how music sounded. Accustomed to what I was used to I had to learn the different styles and various forms of creativity expressed in art across the country. Black creativity was not new to me. Coming from the west side the household names were N.W.A., Tupac, Too $hort, Nate Dogg, and im sure you can picture the rest. So, that introduction to the alternative soul represented in the rhymes of Outkast and Andre 3000 himself has changed my life forever.

When I learn Bob Marley’s band the Wailers is playing a reunion show at a nearby theater the following evening, I go online and buy the first ticket I can find. The founding members are almost seventy and I know this may be my only chance to see the reggae legends. A hundred dollars is more than I’m used to spending on a concert, especially for a seat in the rear of the balcony. I assume this is to be expected when purchasing at the last minute.

Lost and Found Manicured lawns and Trimmed hedges was all Rich could think about. A chance to get out of the neighborhood was a dream everyone on Meadow Street dreamed of. This dream became reality for some, others this dream remained a topic of discussion with no answer to the questions at hand.
Signs A Band Is Over
Everyone has their favourite bands. Some change all the time whilst others become long-term favourites. When I was younger, my favourites flatuated between Spice Girls, Sugababes, Atomic Kitten, Kaiser Chiefs and Busted. As I got older my tastes have changed and I have firm favourites like Depeche Mode and Nightwish. A lot of bands that I have loved have now split up. Sometimes it is hard, but necessary if there is tension between band members or if they want to go their own separate ways and do their own thing.

15 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Pink Floyd
1. Their name was thought up on a whim During their formative years, the band played under a number of different names: Sigma 6, The Abdabs, The Screaming Abdabs, before finally settling on The Tea Set. However, at a gig, another band playing on the bill with them also happened to be named The Tea Set. Thinking on the fly, the band's then-lead singer and guitarist, Syd Barrett, coined the name Pink Floyd--combining the names of two blues musicians he had seen on a record compilation he owned: Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

If you look, you can find reams of words written about black women musicians, and their contribution to our music today. They did it, we all know it, and we all love our music because of them. I can’t write about a history that is already well recorded, but I can write about my feelings of those contributions.

Introducing..
My name is Kevin Mckinney or my music production name is Kmcreates and I am a music producer and content creator from Chicago. I've had a love for music since I was young. In 4th grade I learned how to play the clarinet, so that was my first formal introduction to music. I continued that well into my teens/young adult age, and that's when my focus and attention switched to Hip Hop production. During that time it was about hardware so I've has a sp1200, two MPC 2000's , synths, keyboards and other outboard gear. I came up producing with a few local production teams in Chicago producing beats for our in house artists and other local artists. It was a great experience to work in the studio with the artists, giving feed back, receiving feed, learning how to run cables into mixers and all that goo stuff. back being a part of the creative process from top bottom.
