A to Z challenge e e f g h

So sorry for the delay in posting, but posting, but I've really been under the weather for the last week.

So here I am Sunday morning trying once again trying to get caught up.

So E is for Edward Kennedy Ellington AKA Duke.

Duke Ellington from 1922 was a composer a Pianist and leader of his own Orchestra.

He was tremendously successful with various composition such as Moon indigo It Don't Mean a Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing and take the age rating among others.

In 1971 he released an album titled afro-eurasian eclipse, the overall thought behind the title was that the the world was beginning to move towards more of an Asian mindset and that all of our individual aspects would end up being absorbed into more of an Asian Eurasian construct.

Ellington released the studio album of the same title afro-eurasian eclipse the reflected this belief through the tracks of music it was a a suite in 8 parts

One track off the album is called didgeridoo.


E is also for Enya 

Enya is a Celtic singer who had been a member of the Celtic folk group Clannad 

She wants solo and has produced 42 albums on her own.

Her music reflects both her Irish heritage and her ability to also sing in English as well, besides singing she also plays piano and also things without accompaniment.

One of the most beautiful songs that she has recorded is evening Falls. Hope you enjoy.
F is for

Pink Floyd Has been one of the most Progressive rock bands in England, with a combination of their stage performances that are anything but normal, the powerful music that they have done throughout the years each time challenging their listeners more and at the same time challenging the BBC in in regards to how much further they can push against the wall.

Although this song doesn't fit the alphabetical pattern but I've been using his perhaps one of pink Floyds most powerful songs of last several years the song is on the Turning Away and it cameand it came out on their album a momentary lapse of reason in 1987.

This song since the late 1990s and even more correctly from 2016 onward has become an Anthem for me because of my own personal experience having been homeless.



G is for...

Gateway music, Gateway music is a group who performs at Gateway Church in Dallas Texas.

Dean contemporary Christian group gateway's music is always upbeat and positive.
