My mom's side of the family came from Mississippi & moved to Saint Louis, Missouri. My dad side of the family also came from Mississippi & moved to Saint Louis, Missouri: so I grew up with Blackfoot Indian on both sides of my family & black country on both sides of my family. I grew up on country music Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson: but I also grew up with Charley Pride, Ray Charles, Chuck Berry, LaMelle Prince, Linda Martell, The Pointer Sisters, Tina Turner, Ruby Falls, Deford Bailey, Rufus Teetot Payne, Lesley Riddle. Later on I liked other Black country artist like Rissi Palmer, Mickey Guyton, Darius Rucker, Kane Brown, & yes even Beyoncé. Black people helped invent country music & cowboy culture. The black slaves that herded cattle would wear cowboy hats, cowboy boots, chaps, & jeans: & were called cowboys by the slavemasters & the term cowboy was originally meant as an insult to the black men who were slaves & herded cattle. It didn't become a compliment until white people culturally appropiated country music & cowboy culture & attire from Black people. I am tired of white people stealing country culture & country music from Black people & then thinking the black people they stole country music & country culture from are not country: because our skin is not white. We do not mind sharing country culture, country music, & cowboy attire & cowboy culture with anyone: but don't turn around & tell the very black people you stole everything from we are not country: because we do not have white skin. THAT WILL NO LONGER BE ACCEPTED OR TOLERATED: & BEYONCE IS LEADING THE MOVEMENT. RACIST BULLIES HATE HER FOR THAT: BUT I AND 313,000,000 people of all races, sexes, & orientations love her dearly for thar. THE HATE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED HATERS WILL BE BLOCKED, DELETED, & IGNORED. RACIST, BULLY, HATERS CAN KICK ROCKS.

DOLLY Parton, Wynonna Judd, Patsy Cline, Trisha Yearwood, Shania Twain, LORETTA LYNN, LAINEY WILSON, Megan Moroney, Miranda Lambert, Tanya Tucker, Faith Hill, Martina McBride, Carrie Underwood: are all country artist that I love: but none of them can sing almost 4 octaves like Queen Bey Beyonce: I am not a professional singer for a living: but like Beyonce I can also sing almost 4 octaves: I can sing bass, baritone, tenor, contratenor, contralto, alto, & 8 Soprano notes: it took me over 20 years to reach 8 soprano notes: because I have a very low singing voice. For many years I could only sing 5 soprano notes: but after taking voice lessons most of my life: I made it to 7 soprano notes. I staye at 7 soprano notes: until I minored in opera: & two years of training finally got me the 8th soprano note: that eluded me my whole life. I love my lower voice registry: but I do like soprano voices too: so I worked really hard to sing those soprano notes for kareoke purposes over the years. This was the reason I took opera in college to learn how to sing higher notes: it was very, hard work: so I can respect Beyonce's God Given talent: because she naturally can sing almost 4 octaves: she did not have to work at it for over 30 years like I did & minor in opera in college. Beyonce's half time show was the f*cking best I ever seen. She honors her black ancestors: who helped invent country music. There has been racism against black women in country music for years. If you got anything negative to say about BEYONCE OR ANY BLACK WOMAN IN COUNTRY MUSIC PLEASE BLOCK ME: BECAUSE I WILL DEFINITELY BLOCK YOU & DELETE YOUR COMMENTS FROM MY PAGE. I AM NOT STANDING FOR NO MORE RACISM & BULLYING OF BLACK FEMALE COUNTRY ARTIST. RACISTS BULLIES AGAINST BLACK WOMEN IN COUNTRY MUSIC WILL NOT BE GIVEN A VOICE OR PLATFORM ON MY PAGE EVER AGAIN! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I DON'T LIKE RACIST BULLIES AT ALL.

African guitar like instruments existed in the empire of Cush (c.600 BC - c.350 AD) & had guitar like strings, also the banjo & the drums are also African Instruments too. Moors brought guitar like intruments to Portugal & Spain around the 15 century.

Moors were people of color who lived in North Africa. The black Moors of North Africa brought the guitar to Spain & Portugal during their occupation of Al-Andalus from 711-1492:

The Black Moors brought the al'ud, an 11-stringed, pear-shaped, fretless instrument that evolved into the Spanish guitar. The Black Moors al'ud is thought to be the direct ancestor of the modern guitar.

The Moorish guitar is also known as the Guitarra Morisca, which means "Moorish guitar". It had multiple soundholes, an oval body, a wide neck, & crescent-shaped headstock.

By the 14th century, the Guitarra Morisca was called a guitar. The guitar, along with other instruments, helped shape the development of Spanish classical music & flamenco & helped to form the foundation of Modern Spanish Music Styles.

The most significant Moorish musician was known as Ziryab (the Blackbird) who arrived in Spain in 822. The Moors introduced earliest versions of several instruments, including the Lute or el oud, the guitar or kithara & the Lyre. Current racist narrative is that Spain invented the guitar in the 15 century. The reality is black Moors from Northern Africa brought the guitar to Spain around that time. Guitar like instruments existed in Africa since 600 bc to 350 AD.

Deford Bailey was the first African American to play at the Grand Ole Opry: there is a statue of him at the Grand Ole Opry. The roots of people of color in country music run very deep. The name cowboy came from Black Men who tended to cattle. The drums are an African Instrument. The guitar is also an African Instrument along with the banjo to. Slaves played country music at many of their gatherings: it helped to ease the pain of not being free. Out of the slaves playing country music came 1. Blues, 2. Folk Music, 3. Rock & Roll, 4. Modern Country Music.

The banjo was created in the 17th century by African slaves & then brought to USA via the West Indies. African slaves were the only people to play the banjo until the early 1840s.

Pamela Foster, author of, My Country: The African Diaspora's Country Music Heritage, credits African Americans with creating country music.

In the South, banjos, fiddles, & harmonicas were the dominant instruments played by African Americans writes Pamela in her book.

The list of Black male country artist is listes below:

1. Charley Pride

2. Darius Rucker

3. Kane Brown

4. Cowboy Troy

Deford Bailey was the first African American to play at the Grand Ole Opry: there is a statue of him at the Grand Ole Opry. The roots of people of color in country music run very deep. The name cowboy came from Black Men who tended to cattle. The drums are an African Instrument. The guitar is also an African Instrument along with the banjo to. Slaves played country music at many of their gatherings: it helped to ease the pain of not being free. Out of the slaves playing country music came 1. Blues, 2. Folk Music, 3. Rock & Roll, 4. Modern Country Music.

The banjo was created in the 17th century by African slaves & then brought to USA via the West Indies. African slaves were the only people to play the banjo until the early 1840s.

Pamela Foster, author of, My Country: The African Diaspora's Country Music Heritage, credits African Americans with creating country music.

In the South, banjos, fiddles, & harmonicas were the dominant instruments played by African Americans writes Pamela in her book.

From The Muse to The Medium to The Reader

Just like the idea for this post that you’re reading right now, usually when I write a story inspiration has struck me. It has delivered to me the general idea of the story that I want to write, and more, and continues to flow as I write my hopefully copious notes for that story.

New Artist Spotlight: The Sisterhood

Ruby Stewart and Alyssa Bonagura might not be biological sisters, but The Sisterhood duo have a musical bond as thick as blood.

A post shared by The Sisterhood Band (@thesisterhoodband) on Oct 26, 2017 at 1:09pm PDT

Stewart is daughter of rock icon, Rod Stewart, and Bonagura’s parents are Michael Bonagura and Kathie Baillie of Baillie and the Boys. Both girls, heavily influenced by music from a young age, were beginning to pursue solo careers, when they met through friends. Their pair instantly bonded over their mutual love of folk goddess, Joni Mitchell, and their similar experiences growing up surrounded by the music business.

The Sisterhood was created almost immediately after hitting it off, and the group has since written and recorded their first EP which features the song, “Tenderize My Heart.” Listen to “Tenderize My Heart,” which is the theme song for the E! television show, Stewarts and Hamiltons.

Having caught attention all over the globe, The Sisterhood has performed at Milan and Miami fashion weeks, landed spots at one of Australia's largest country music festivals, opened for Gary Clark Jr., and took the opening slot on Rod Stewart’s UK Stadium Tour.

The Sisterhood recently signed with Sony Music Nashville. Since then, they performed at the Grand Ole Opry alongside Darius Rucker, Wynonna Judd, and Little Big Town. The group was also featured on CMT’s “Listen Up: 18 for 2018” program, which spotlights country music’s most promising newcomers.

We are SO excited to announce we’ve been selected as @cmt’s Listen Up Artists - #18for2018!! ✨ #CMTListenUp 🙌🏻❤️

A post shared by The Sisterhood Band (@thesisterhoodband) on Dec 14, 2017 at 9:41am PST

The duo is also members of CMT’s Next Women in Country Music Class of 2018: a campaign that brings awareness to inspiring, upcoming female vocalists in country music.
