Music!
*
Click with caution! If you have never heard of the artist, don't click. Monitor your kids and enjoy the music!
Not all of the music is appropriate for children! We try to provide music for a wide range of listeners!
 

Section Theme: Jukebox Flood
*All the hyperlinks will open in a new window taking you to the particular jukebox!

Drinking Songs Jukebox Drinking Songs Jukebox II
It's festive music!
Drinking Songs Jukebox III Drinking Songs Jukebox IV
We're still in a festive mood! How about you?
Culture Club The Eels
This is a highlight of two groups that really have nothing to do with each other, but here they are together!
Ghetto Heismann (Rap/Hip Hop) All About The Bass (Rap/Hip Hop)
These two selections are not suitable for kids! For anyone that has been at a red light and felt the earth moving because the car beside you was booming louder than is probably legal, you might want to avoid the second jukebox! For everyone else, flip the woofers!
The Beastie Boys (Old School Rap) Missy Elliott
These two selections aren't suitable for kids or Ma!
Fighting Men Of Crossmaglen (Celtic) The Real McKenzies (Celtic Rock)
Two different types of Celtic music, but both very entertaining!! Enjoy!
Toss The Feather (Celtic) Celtic Playlist (Various Artists)
These two selections are a highlight of the Irish spirit. If you have a chance, listen to Toss The Feather's "Intoxicated Leprechaun". It's suitable for children and isn't nearly as bad as it could be. Darn! Hehe! The Celtic Playlist offers you a wide variety of artists. One of MoJo's favorites is Lasairfhíona Ní Chonaola. Enjoy!
Fred & The Healers (Da Blues) Walkin' Cane Mark (Da Blues)
Some Blues music for you to enjoy! If you like Tommy Castro and Tab Benoit, you'll enjoy these two selections!! For more of Da Blues, please find acad1228.
Swamp Mama Johnson (Da Blues) Watermelon Slim (Da Blues)
If you've never heard of either of these artists, you've been missing out!! Enjoy the music and remember to look for acad1228 for your Da Dose Of Da Blues!
Campmeetin' (Gospel/Christian) Jubilee
If you are a fan of the Gaithers, Oak Ridge Boys, and Barbershop Quartets, then you'll love both of these Gospel selections. Enjoy!!
Five Iron Frenzy (Ska/Gospel) Everman (Christian Contemp. Rock)
If you are a fan of Smash Mouth, you might enjoy Five Iron Frenzy. If you like Mercy Me, you may find yourself liking Everman. Enjoy!!
Great Country Duets Rockin Country
Here's two compilation jukeboxes of great country music!! Enjoy!!
Funk Compilation 1 Funk Compilation 2
For all you Funk music fans out there, this is for you! Enjoy!

Theme Section: Two For One
*These are all jukeboxes below.
When we began this section, it wasn't intended to go in the direction it went. We weren't necessarily going to make this celebration of world genres, but here we are. Enjoy it!
 

 

Dirty Dozen Brass Band Gumbo

If you love the New Orleans sound of Jazz, Blues, and Dixieland, you will enjoy both of these bands.
 
Calypso Music Jamaican Mento Music
A musical education and journey of sorts in these two selections. Calypso is the musical sound traced to Trinidad (via the African slaves) and probably recognizable to most people. As you can see, Mento music is rooted in Jamaica. In simplistic terms, Mento music is Jamaica's folk music. Since Mento music is rarely heard these days, when someone hears it...they can understandably confuse it with Calypso. It isn't. For anyone that can't stomach today's reggae music, try the Mento music jukebox. You'll be glad you did.
Americana American Roots
Americana and American Roots could both be coined 'folk music'. However, one truly is folk music (of varying genres) and the other is America's musical history from the beginning. Americana is 'folk music' while American Roots is that musical history. Enjoy!
Boogaloo Music Mambo
Boogaloo was popular in 1960s New York City thanks in part to Cuban and Puerto Rican youths. There is a dance also called Boogaloo, but you'll have to travel to Latin America to get your Boogaloo fix these days. Mambo is vital and important to the popularity of Boogaloo because many of it's beats and styles were used in Boogaloo music. You may also notice that Mambo music is a bit faster paced than most of the Boogaloo selections.
Jamoo Soca Music
This section could only be possible because of one man, Lord Shorty. Lord Shorty, invented both styles of music. In response to a few folks that tend to believe that Soca music is Brasilian, it is evident that we need an education. Soca music is from Trinidad and was created by a Calypso musician named Lord Shorty. After he converted to Christianity, Jamoo music was born. Jamoo music is the mixture of Reggae/Soca/Gospel music!  The Jamoo jukebox selection is from a group called Christafari. This group happens to feature Lord Shorty's daughter, Avian.
Fado Music Music Of Portugal
Fado music originated in Portugal and could best be defined as 'mellow' music. Highlighting other musical talents of Portugal brings us to the second jukebox. The varying styles and similarities with Brasilian music can be heard as well. P.S. There are a few songs with those annoying instruments known as BAGPIPES in the second jukebox. God help us all!
Zydeco Cajun
Good, upbeat music! What more could you want?
Music from the Coffee Lands Music from the Chocolate Lands
The rest of you enjoy your musical time in the Coffee Lands jukebox. MoJo will be busy enjoying the Chocolate Lands music!
Flamenco Rumba Swahili Rumba (African)
If you are a fan of Rumba music and dance, then this is your section. MoJo is more partial to the Swahili Rumba, but both are extremely good.
Klezmer & Hassidic Music Yiddish
Jewish music for the enjoyment of all!
South Pacific Islands Island Music From Around The World
Enjoy the music of the Islands from around the world!

Section Theme: Let's Sample--Shall We?
*Many of our Veterans and current Active Duty can relate to this music section. You take music that was popular *back in the day* and sample it with a current song and you've got a hit. The Canteen--doing what we can to close the musical gap between generations--except for Ma. She's generationally unaware! Um, keep in mind that some of these songs only take a riff or perhaps sample more than just the song we're using as an example.

Several years ago, I got to see the Blackwatch Guard perform, it was truly amazing!

We were stationed in Berlin and were lucky enough to experience a Tattoo. The performance was given by - I don't remember how many - massed military bands, and was one of the most awesome experiences we've ever had. We sat at one end of an oval stadium, right over a dozen tympani. What a night!

Spent from 8 - 12 in the city park for the back to school fair recruiting for Scouts; only shade I got was from my gray stetson. So yes, it's hot a muggy.
