scrambling to find a musical performance that could fit in my busy schedule. Luckily, as I was searching online for different performances I ran across The Flex Crew performing at Skully’s music diner. I have been to Skully’s once before to watch a folk band perform. The atmosphere was a lot different than when we saw The Flex Crew. Obviously, the genre of music was a lot different, along with the atmosphere of the crowd. I was very surprised by the number of people in the bar for the fact that the

terms of environmental activism. More than just a vestige of the late 1960s, Mitchell continued to write protest songs long after many other artists from the 1960s had changed their lyrical content. In the “mellow turn” of early 1970s country rock and folk music, Mitchell represented a new environmental shift that moved away from the proto-typical antiwar songs of the 1960s. Mitchell, along with other musicians of this era, defined a shifting musical focus on songwriting and musical presentation during

The Relevancy of Ethnomusicology to the Study of British Folk Music Ethnomusicology has an image problem. Insofar as anyone has heard of ethnomusicologists at all, there is a fairly common feeling (and not unjustified, bearing in mind what ethnomusicologists collectively seem to do) that ethnomusicology is, exclusively, the study of non-Western musics.

From segregation and the Great Immigration in America to the deconstruction of traditional culture in Europe, and even the shared rise popularity in folk music in both countries, modernism announces itself as a prevalent and powerful voice in music which is seen through composers such as Schoenberg, Stravinsky, Copland, and Bartok.

Dylan utilizes enjambment in every stanza, which is a term used in poetry to refer to lines that end without punctuation and without completing a sentence or clause. The main theme of this folk song is stated in the title and in each stanza by using repetition of the words for the times they are a-changin. “During the course of the Sixties, "everything changed," says Democratic pollster Geoff Garin, who came of age in the Sixties.

The media controls society, whether we agree with this or not. Their depiction of acts constitutes our image of the world around us. They shape the public perceptions, and create moral panics. Human by nature are attracted to violence, as proven “[b]y age 18, it is estimated that the average child will have seen approximately 200,000 violent acts and 16,000 murders on television alone” (Senate Committee on the Judiciary, 1999).

playing throughout my family’s house. My parents always had classical music playing on the stereo system in the corner of our living room, it would be playing all day unless the television was on. When I asked my mom for her thoughts on what my “personal folk music” would be, she immediately said it would be classical. She went on to explain that before I was born she even went as far as holding headphones to her belly and would play classical music for me even while I was still in her womb. Being almost
