In the spiritual system, this topic correlates to the heart chakra. Actually, this makes a lot of sense since both aspects of this topic are dear to my heart. Learn more about this chakra on the link to Fitsri.
I have a great passion for the history of Rock ‘n Roll style American Music. It is the type that became popular during the mid-20th Century. In particular, the years that I relish are mostly from the first quarter to the third quarter of that century. They include it origins to its conclusions. It is the music that was believed to have started with the blues.
Netflix, PBS, and NPR provided my entertainment industry education with a revelation. That discovery is the true origins of this music. Previously, African Americans were credited with it.

Behind that song was a Native American musician named Link Wray, who went on to inspire legions of rock ‘n’ roll greats. He’s featured in a new documentary called Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked The World, which aims to finally give Native American musicians their due.
