2.  Rock and Roll emerged as a defined musical style in the United States in
the early to mid 1950s.
 It derived most directly from the rhythm and blues music of the
1940s, which itself developed from earlier blues, boogie woogie, jazz and
swing music, and was also influenced by gospel, country and
western, and traditional folk music.
 Rock and roll in turn provided the main basis for the music that, since
the mid 1960s, has been generally known as rock music.
 There are various types of ROCK&ROLL , like Rockabilly and Doo Wop.
 Rockabilly usually but not exclusively refers to the type of rock and roll
music which was played and recorded in the mid 1950s by white singers
such as Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis, who drew
mainly on the country roots of the music
 Doo wop was one of the most popular forms of 1950s rock and roll, with
an emphasis on multi-part vocal harmonies and meaningless backing
lyrics ; from which the genre later gained its name, which were usually
supported with light instrumentation.

4. Ska is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s, and was the
precursor to rocksteady and reggae.Ska combined elements of Caribbean mento
and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues.
It is characterized by a walking bass line accented with rhythms on the upbeat.
In the early 1960s, ska was the dominant music genre of Jamaica and was
popular with British mods. Later it became popular with many skinheads
Music historians typically divide the history of ska into three periods: the
original Jamaican scene of the 1960s ,first wave, the English 2 Tone ska revival of
the late 1970s second wave and the third wave ska movement, which started in
the 1980s , and rose to popularity in the US in the 1990s.
There are different theories about the origins of the word ska. Ernest Ranglin
claimed that the term was coined by musicians to refer to the "skat! skat! skat!"
scratching guitar strum. Another explanation is that at a recording session in
1959 produced by Coxsone Dodd, double bassist Cluett Johnson instructed
guitarist Ranglin to "play like ska, ska, ska", although Ranglin has denied
this, stating "Clue couldn't tell me what to play!"A further theory is that it
derives from Johnson's word skavoovie, with which he was known to greet his
friends. Jackie Mittoo insisted that the musicians themselves called the rhythm
Staya Staya, and that it was Byron Lee who introduced the term 'ska'.
Guitar and piano making a ska sound, like 'ska, ska,' that's why we call it SKA.
The sound of the guitar and the piano, that's why we give it the name ska. -

6. Daughter of Psyche, pledge of that last night
When, pierced with pain and bitter-sweet delight,
She knew her Love and saw her Lord depart,
Then breathed her wonder and her woe forlorn
Into a single cry, and thou wast born?
Thou flower of rapture and thou fruit of grief;
Invisible enchantress of the heart;
Mistress of charms that bring relief
To sorrow, and to joy impart
A heavenly tone that keeps it undefiled,--
Thou art the child
Of Amor, and by right divine
A throne of love is thine,
Thou flower-folded, golden-girdled, star-crowned Queen,
Whose bridal beauty mortal eyes have never seen!
