Welcome to Maass Media!

My goal for this blog is to share the music I listen to with as many people as possible.  If this is your first time here, all you need to know is that everyday I post good songs from different genres of music.  There is a list of genres on the left - clicking on a genre will lead you to a list of songs (with links to hear them) that I have posted on my blog. 

Any time you see a portion of text in brown that means it's a link.  If you want to leave a comment, click on the comment box at the bottom of the post you want to comment on.  Rock on!

Later in February we'll feature more John Coltrane, but for Day 3, the emphasis is on the event behind John Coltrane's "Alabama": Birmingham Sunday, when a church was fire-bombed, and three little girls in Sunday school were killed. Folk musicians also wrote about this immense tragedy in the fight for civil rights. For a helpful timeline see "A Chronology of Jazz and Civil Rights in the US" at this website:http://evapaterson.com/chronology/ ... Now, here comes "the Trane"...
