Then I spent hundreds and even thousands of hours playing Eye of The Beholder III, the Aethra Chronicles demo, Baldur’sContinuar lendo “November 18, 2018”

My dear daughter, There is probably no music genre as varied as Jazz. It’s a style that emerged in New Orleans towards the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, combining Blues, Ragtime, West African rhythms and influences, as well as European military band music. Jazz encompasses swing and blue notes,Continuar lendo “November 12, 2018”
