| Pop Classics |
This style refers to a wide era of pop music...from Perry Como, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Patti Page, Glenn Miller and vocal groups such as The Four Aces, The Ames Brothers, The Platters and The Four Seasons. This was the type of music that appealed to old and young alike, it was called POP. During pop’s Golden Age, the whole family pretty much liked the same songs. That’s why they called it Pop Music: It was popular, of the people. Singers packed houses across the country and with the widespread popularity of jukeboxes, radio and movies; it enabled their music, personalities and distinctive vocal styles to catapult them to superstar status. Time, it is said, is the ultimate critic...and the songs here have passed the test of time. They hold memories for a lot of people. The subject matter is mainly love, the love between two people. They are songs of romance. Many are songs of hope and optimism, songs of love on the horizon or just around the corner. Some are songs of bittersweet memories of love past and love lost. The songwriters wrote love stories with a beginning, a middle and an end. We don’t have to guess what they’re talking about. The writing is clear and to the point. Nor do we have to guess what the melody might be. It’s all about communication of emotion. These performances are not about ego, just simple emotions conveyed directly and sincerely. And that’s the word which best describes what we have here: Sincerity. It is the sincerity that gives these songs and performances their lasting value. Great songs from 1940 – 1990...fifty years of the best songs ever recorded by the original artist. |

by Jackson Porter |
|
In the past months we have seen the price of gasoline soar higher than ever before, and this can be hard on people who have a budget that is tight. Even though gas prices have come down a slight bit, you still will want to do everything you possibly can to save on the money you have to pay out for gas. There are a variety of ways that you can save gas, and save money.
Tip#1 - Start Carpooling
Carpooling is a great idea for fellow students and fellow employees both. If you can find people that are going to the same place you are you can save gas by riding together. It may be a good idea to trade off on who is driving from week to week so no one person gets stuck having to drive all the time. If you have to take your children to school or other functions you can also work on trading off with your friends and neighbors to take them there.
Tip#2 - Public Transportation
If it is possible you can take public transportation to work instead of driving your car. Not only will this save you money on gas, but you will also be able to relax and not worry about having to drive through all that rush hour traffic. You may even be able to fit in a quick nap on your way to work or on your way home.
Tip#3 - Price Shop
Often it may be so convenient to buy your gas at the small gas station just up the road, but to save some money on gas you may want to check the prices at other gas stations that are nearby as well. Even if the difference is only a few cents, after putting hundreds of gallons of gas in you vehicle each year, those few cents are going to add up to quite a sum of money.
Tip#4 - Get Moving
You can save some money on gas if you start walking to where you are going, or you can ride a bike as well. You will not have to worry about paying to park your car, and the exercise will be great for you body. If you are walking or biking you will not have to worry about those huge traffic jams either.
Tip#5 - Take Care of Your Car
It is always important to take care of your car so it gets the best gas mileage possible. Also be sure to plan where you are going before you go so you will not have to backtrack and waste gas. If you can, you should use your air conditioning as little as possible because using it takes more gas. Roll down your windows and you will use less gas.
Tip#6 - Check your Tires
It is important that you check the air pressure in your tires as often as possible. If your tires are too low, or the pressure in them is unequal it can make your car burn more gas. You should also be careful how you drive. If you take off from every red light very fast you are going to burn more fuel, so it is best to take off a little slower.
These are a few tips that can help the money conscious person to save money on gas. Even as gas prices drop, these tips can still help you to save more money. Conservation is important, so take advantage of these tips, save money, and save gas.
