Classical music generally follows a set of rules and parameters, but on the other hand, jazz is about improvisation.

Jazz musicians often use chord progressions and melodies borrowed from classical music, but they add their unique flair.

The differences between Jazz and Classical are numerous and cannot be fully covered in a few sentences. Therefore, I will cover only one point of difference, which is significant to me: the time frame within which each discipline has evolved.

if you were asked to list who do you personally consider to be the greatest all gender crooners of all time what would you say?

Crooner is a term used to describe singers who established a name and their fortunes performing a smooth style made possible by better microphones which picked up quieter sounds and a wider range of frequencies, allowing the vocalist to access a more dynamic range and deliver it in a more intimate manner.

The Hotel Pennsylvania is falling slowly, and in a matter of a few months, it will be gone for good or bad, depending on your POV.

I attended events at hotel everyman PA65000 and even stayed there overnight at this grand structure once or twice, but not while Fidel was there, or else there would have been a much better story to tell.

Meanwhile, Castro, the leader of Cuba, was at the hotel in 1959 and a photo of the main lobby—the New York Times Image.

Santa Cruz del Islote in Colombia has got to be one of the most challenging and crowded islands to live on the face of this Earth.

I was born on an island known as the Pearl of The Antilles because Christopher Columbus claimed Cuba for Spain in 1492 when it was the realm of the Arawakan-speaking Taino people who had displaced even earlier inhabitants. It became the Spanish empire's most important source of raw sugar in the 18th century and later earned the name 'Pearl of the Antilles.'

Bless their souls

"Bless their hearts" is a figure of speech familiar to the United States and most prevalent in the southern states where I have lived.

This phrase has multiple meanings and is used to express genuine sympathy but more often as an insult that conveys condescension, ridicule, or contempt. It may also be considered a precursor to abuse to mitigate its severity.

We only need a pen, paper, and a keyboard to write a compelling copy, and we should also put down that dangerous sword.

The pen is mightier than the sword is a metonymic adage created by English author Edward Bulwer-Lytton in 1839, indicating that the written word is more effective than violence for social or political change.
