   My First Blog Post                                                                                                       Christopher Feuers

    Hi, my name is Christopher Feuers, I'm an 18-year-old college student and athlete attending Converse University this year as a member of the class of 2027. I highly enjoy a lot of hobbies such as running, biking, playing video games and even drawing on my iPad. 

The major I'm decently sure on pursuing is a degree in biology while attending Converse.

I was born in Greenville SC, although I live in Bluffton, SC and spent most of my life in the town.

The first thing I'd slap on my playlist on Spotify, Apple Music or, Spotify has got to be the Album: Capital Punishment by Big Punisher. I find this artist and album in general a very lyrical masterpiece every single line flow and every bar hits like Mike Tyson.

I feel like I'm listening to poetry in a more lethal storytelling and lyrical form farther from a poem but closer to the streets.

The song I've decided to share for others onto their playlists is the song Twinz by Big Punisher:

    A song that holds a lot of deep meaning and thought to my heart and my head is definitely Fade into You by Mazzy Star. 

The reasoning behind this is it being sang and played by my cousins and I for my great grandmother who passed away in 2012.

 I also connect with this song because I also have it on my playlist and a lot of my family holds it dear as well.

To sum this song up it just has a certain resonance and special place in my heart to me it's just all around beautiful.

The third piece that I found personally was really not my style of music or my taste in a genre either. 

Which is the song Big Green Tractor, I've never felt connected to the lyrics, 
neither have I ever felt a vibe that I truly caught from the song from it other than cringe.

Compared to many other country artists this is just not stand out not very lyrically talented to me it's just a song about people sexualizing a farm object its plain said weird.

    Hey, Chris! I love that Mazzy Star song. It’s definitely been on my playlist this summer as one of my favorites! That Big Pun song was definitely new to me, but I was glad to listen to something you enjoy.

      Hi Chris! I really like the beat of Capital Punishment by Big Punisher! I have never heard this song before but I kinda liked it! It made me want to start beat boxing! Haha! I like the song by Mazzy Star. I love how meaningful the song is to you and I am so sorry for your loss. I agree with you about the song Big green tractor not being very lyrically talented. I am honestly not a fan of country music. There are only a few artists that I listen too that are country artists.

    Hey Chris, I really liked the Big Punisher song, it reminds me of a lot of older rap I have heard throughout my life like Tupac, Biggie, and NWA. I have heard the song before but never knew who the artist was. It's definitely one to add to the playlist. Also a good song to compare to a lot of newer rap and hip hop, you can see how much it has changed over the years.

The History of Celtic Music

  The History of Celtic Music Christopher Feuers History: Celtic music has been around since the 1600s, traditionally used for weddings, funerals, and other rituals. The music developed with oral tradition in the Northern regions of Ireland and is continued today. The music likely originates from Celts coming to Ireland around 2000 years ago. The Celts are a cultural group from Europe prior to the Roman conquest. During the Irish potato famine and the Scottish Highland Clearance many Celtic descendants moved to North America, specifically Nova Scotia, New York, Boston, and Chicago. They brought their music and traditions with them and served as a connection to their homeland. Instruments:  The Fiddle is a major player in Celtic music. A fiddle is essentially a violin, but played differently and often made with steel strings as opposed to the nylon of the violin. The Celtic Harp is a regional harp, believed to have originated from Egypt. It is strung with 34 gut strings and use...

Music and Gender

                      Music and Gender                                                         Christopher Feuers   Music and gender intersect in multiple ways, shaping and being shaped by societal norms, cultural perceptions, and individual experiences. Throughout history, music has played a significant role in reflecting and reinforcing gender roles and stereotypes. However, it has also served as a platform for challenging traditional gender norms, expressing gender identity, and promoting gender equality. Since ancient times, gender has influenced the roles and expectations associated with music. In many societies, women were discouraged from participating in certain musical practices, such as composing or performing instrumental music. Instead, they were often limited to singing or play...
