sample dis preserve dat

Copy-writing is a necessity in terms of preserving and re-dispersing old art, music and culture. Early Bulgarian folk music was sung, unrecorded by paper or machine, whilst sowing fields, planting, washing clothes, at weddings and celebrations and during different seasons. The only way the people could preserve the songs and keep them dispersed throughout the generations was by learning, copying and following their predecessors. This also occurs in the Aboriginal culture, where passing songs and hymns to other aborigine is a strong cultural activity and also preserves ancestry.
Although the culture, scene and economic circumstances are somewhat different to your average music production, i think that the preservation of music by these people should be followed. Sure, if they wrote the music down, they could still preserve it, put the lyrics on www.lyricsearch.com, or upload it to their mp3 files. However, the chances of remembering that song 20 to 30 years later just by reading it or a chance listen doesn't really maintain the beauty of the music that can define historical era's.
My dad has a brilliant record collection, this meant i grew up with an extensive music knowledge for my age and my generation. At ten, whilst most girls had their hearts set on Nick Carter, Howie.D or the smooth Peter Andre, i was going to marry Sam Cooke regardless of the fact he died decades earlier-no i was not a nacrophiliac, or Cat Stevens. However, when i tried to share my interest, my friends thought i was kidding and didn't recognise his sound at all, but how could they? During high school i started to get a taste of the 'mashes', Tupac's 'Changes' mashed with Dr Hook's 'When You're in Love With a Beautiful Woman' and legends like Bill Withers having their music sampled as a basis for hip-hop. This re-generated a once popular music to popularity again in a whole new structure and people around me suddenly knew who The Marvelettes or Elton John were. At this web-site http://www.hiphopmusic.com/archives/001836.html Bill Withers, whose songs have been sampled hugely, explains his feelings toward it. Hip-hop wasn't the only genre of music recreating songs from the past to appeal to the new generations and times, Artists like Me First and The Gimme Gimme's were covering songs from the fifties and sixties and turning them into punk rock. Boy and Girl bands of pop were doing the same, Westlife with Billy Joel's 'Uptown Girl' and Atomic Kitten with Blondie's 'The Tide Is High' and so forth. My take is that if they do the song justice and keep that music in the knowledge of up-comers by sampling and re-creating than its great. It doesn't ruin the musical integrity of the composer but it credits them or sometimes pays homage to them or their era, said because a common action after downloading the 'mashes' is to download the original version. Therefore preserving incredible music such as 'Georgia on My Mind' by Ray Charles recently sampled by Ludacris .
That said, recreation can replace the history of a song when it's uncredited and unpreserved. Naivety can lead to songs like 'Emotions' sung by Destiny's Child, being linked to only Destiny's child instead of the more worthy Bee Gee's. That is a downer of maintaining old songs- difficult topic. Not quite sure how i've rambled. please consider i havent drunken any water recently...dizzy or you might respond deluded.
