Schow and John Shirley, and was starring Brandon Lee.It was Brandon Lee's final film appearance before his death on March 31, 1993. It was a based on the 1989 comic book of the same name by James O'Barr.In the Late 90's KBC Tv aired The Crow Show till the episode where Brandon Lee met his death. It was speculated by viewers(Myself then a teenager) that the death of The Crow was as a result of the paranormal activities displayed in the show.
While filming the last sets of the show,  Lee was fatally wounded when a dummy bullet, which had lodged in one of the prop guns, was shot into his abdomen by a blank cartridge accidentally.(I still don't believe that..The Crow was not your normal Tv show).After sustaining the '"accidental??" gunshot wound,he was taken to an area hospital, where he later died.  [Sound tracks to The Crow Tv show include songs from the Rock band Rage against the machine(RATM), who's lead guitarist _Tom Morrello, is a nephew of the 1st president of Kenya_Mzee Jomo Kenyatta.

How To Play The Harmonica [Tarupeta']

A guide on how to play the harmonica for beginners












First for a beginner to learn how to play the harmonica, you have to learn how to hold it. Hold the harmonica easily and comfortably in your hands then position it comfortably on your mouth. Start play breathing on your harmonica, that is, breathe in and out on your harmonica without thinking of actually playing it[Do not Blow or suck on your harmonica just yet, just play breathe]. Slowly and gradually start breathing in and out of your harmonica listening to your breathing patterns [Again do not Blow or suck on your harmonica]. This is the most basic and most important step that most people always forget or do not know about when trying to learn how to play the harmonica.

As you breathe on your harmonica start making your breathes deeper, let the breathes come down from your diaphragm [think stomach] up to your lungs and out into the harmonica.Practise this several times and then as you feel your pattern, try and speak out into your harmonica along with the breathing patterns.Try the common "Ooh sussannaah". Repeat this several times keeping in mind where your breathes are coming from and concentrating on controlling your breathe.Inhale and exhale into your harmonica while gauging and feeling the source of your breathes.

If you are a harmonica lover and you are dedicated and really want to learn on how to play the harmonica, you atleast  should have an idea of a harmonica tone in your head, maybe a blues tone you have heard somewhere or a harmonica tone you have heard your friends play. If you do, choose a tone you are familiar with from your head and then start 'practise playing' it on your harmonica.Hold the tone while controlling your breathe for as long as you possibly can.Now start breathing in and out on your harmonica as fast as you possibly can. Now think of a diatonic harmonica tone you know of, something simple with like two tones.Now start playing them in the first holes /warps of your harmonica, slowly and gradually play the tone moving to the middle section of your harmonica, play your tone concentrating on it and listening to the rhythm of the tones.Now cover several holes of your harmonica with your hand and repeat the process, from the first section to the middle section following a rhythmic pattern. Cover 1 to 4 holes of the harmonica as you play and follow a rhythm.

After practising on the above, now you can try practise chugging. Try breathing in and out of your harmonica in a rhythmic pattern, like, in/out in/out in-in/out-out in-out-in/in--out-out, create your pattern and follow a rhythm.Try this repeatedly while controlling your breathe pattern all along. In case you happen to run out of breathe, open your throat wide and breathe into your diaphragm[stomach]. Your nose/ lungs breathing is secondary breathing in this case.Whenever you happen to run out of breathe always open your throat and breathe into your diaphragm.

Once you have regained your breathe and mastered the above, you can now try playing single notes. Position your harmonica at an angle of about 45 degrees. Open your mouth wide to cover about 3 to 4 holes of the harmonica, let your upper lip cover most of the top half of the harmonica and your lower lip should cover like two holes but leaving the center holes open so as to produce a better and clearer tone.Relax your body, your fingers and your mouth and now practise playing a tone without tightening your mouth around the harmonica.Practise playing your harmonica every time because learning how to play the harmonica gets easier with every single practise.By perfecting the above steps, you sure are on your way to becoming a Harmonica god.

Taking You Back When


 Remember When.....

Four square was just a Playing ground

When you owned a collection of radio cassettes

When safe sex meant your parents are away from home

When Leg Warmers were cool

When John Karani Read song lyrics on Late Night KBC and you wrote them down

When you listened to the radio all day just to record your favorite song

When The Crow, Robocop and Sinbad the sailor were your favorite Tv programs

'Macarena' was in your head all day

When the  'Merry go round' was Awesome!

The Bold and The Beautiful was STRICTLY for over 18 ONLY

When Fatuma na Djinni was scary

You were in a school gang..... 'The Famous Five' or 'The secret seven'

Girls wore Bikers under their skirts and Boys wore tights under their Shorts

'Mario' was your Pass time favorite PC game

When Will smith was The Fresh Prince of Bel air

Kool and the Gang ..'Celebrate good times come on! ' Was the Jam

When Bill Cosby was actually funny

When you had to get off the couch to change the TV channel

When KBC TV aired the national anthem every day at12.00 mid night before closing

A Quick review of songs probably stuck in your head

http://buxmob.net/go.php?id=27465                               Pay Phone By Maroon 5 ft Wiz Khalifa
The song title comes from Levine's first line of the verse.The solid musicianship from Levine makes the song catchy and memorable.There’s a probable connection between the song and Levine’s recent breakup with Victoria’s Secret model Anne Vyalitsyna.

                              Somebody i used to Know by Gotye ft Kimbra
This song is compelling with its intruging and minimalist opening. It tells a tale of a relationship gone bad.The song is not flashy, but it is instantly memorable and is destined to be a Classic.Following the massive success of this song, Gotye says the many covers and remix requests are becoming tiring.                                     
                                                                                                         

                                 Rolling in the deep by Adele
 In the first five secs, you can here the stunning bluesy and authority of Adele's voice. At 22, Adele sings with the authority and sense of life experience of a 40 year old.This song  has topped charts all over the world.             

                                                 

                                   Pumped up kicks by Foster the people
This song has intense, disturbing lyrics and an Upbeat sound that works for parties or private listening. It tells a story about "Robert" and the gun he found in his dad's closet.

         
           
                                  Paradise by Coldplay
With the boiling strings, rattling synthesizers and bass-heavy beats, this song would pass for a Kanye West record. On the flip side, Paradise has a Powerful instrumental opening, a Chorus that will stick in the mind and a Simple piano accompaniment. Martin sings about a girl wanting to escape into her own dreams.In recent events, Coldplay fans have claimed that wrist bands they purchased on  coldplay's concerts are causing them nightmares.

                         Stereo Hearts by Gym class heroes ft Adam Levine
It is difficult to see "Stereo Hearts" as more than a Travie McCoy and Adam Levine duet. It seems to be a gym Class Heroes record only in name.Travie (Katy perry's Ex-flame) rapping is standard, and Adam’s singing is obtrusively auto-tuned, but good musicianship and lyrics make this single very listenable. Pleasant-sounding keyboard tunes combined with decent electronics and drum-machines make “Stereo Hearts” easy on the ears.

       

                            "Drive by" By Train
"Drive By" is not an entirely new song for the band Train. They began performing it on tour in the summer of 2011.The song encompasses Pat Monahan's vocals with a great Singalong chorus giving the song a simple and catchy arrangement. "Drive By" follows a very similar formula to "Hey, Soul Sister." A spare, mostly acoustic, arrangement on the verse leads into an upbeat singalong chorus. The lyrics to this song are clever but with overly cute wordplay.

                           Everybody talks by Neon Trees
There are vocalists, and then there are performers. There are concerts, and then there are shows.Neon Trees is a band of performers who put on one hell of a show. This song has an Uptempo infectious energy accompanied by Tyler Glenn's aggressive vocals which gives it a great Singalong melody. The energy of the song is contagious and you will most likely be singing along to the end of this song.
