Classic Rock Section

.

.

.

Classic rock section begins at the crossover of 50’s rock into the rebel rock of the 60’s where music began to move from simply having fun into social messaging and frustration and awareness. From there the free and easy attitude of the 70’s changed the mood of the music again.. Social change and changing attitudes are reflected thought the decades to come as expressed in the music.

Jazz/Blues/Soft Rock & Soul Section

.

.

.

This section mixes jazz and blues with soft rock and soul. I find that both soft rock and soul, while using different chords, melodically match the spirit of Jazz and Blues. Thus, this section is a collection of those soulful and heartfelt blues and jazz songs.
All these genres focus on harnessing a soulful feeling.

Rock Section

.

.

.

The Rock playlist includes genre Rock from 60’s forward. Rock was fun energy expressed and shared by generations. Post the music of the social awareness era of the 60’s/70’s rock music continued to evovle as it found new ways of expression. The the angst of our parents at that time of course. We liked to play it loud and let the music imbue os with its energy. Well, that’s my interpretation.
Also includes hard rock, melodic rock and metal.

XMAS Section

Christmas section focuses on traditional and popular. Some of these songs I found tricky to play but regardless of how people feel about Christmas, this seasonal music still enables me to recall the whimsical feelings of sentiment and celebration of another year passing and the beginning of the new year to come.
