Slow jams are commonly R&B ballads or downtempo songs. The term is most commonly reserved for soft-sounding songs with heavily emotional or romantic lyrical content. This definition has led to intense debate over whether particular songs should be classified as a "slow jam", e.g. Ginuwine's 1996 hit single "Pony". The common use and possible origin of this term traces back to 1983 when Solar Records group Midnight Star recorded the song "Slow Jam" on their album No Parking on the Dance Floor. ...2015-06-3041 minDulcimer Geek Podcast - Dulcimer Players News09 Festival ConcertsPlanning dulcimer festival concert sets.2015-06-2433 minDulcimer Geek Podcast - Dulcimer Players News08 - Can't We Just Get AlongMixed tonality: how to get mountain and hammered dulcimers to play nicely together. 2015-06-1640 minDulcimer Geek Podcast - Dulcimer Players News07 - Dulcimer Mamas and Airplane RhythmsRemembering Jean, and real world experience flying with a small instrument.2015-06-0834 minDulcimer Geek Podcast - Dulcimer Players News06 - Hippy HistoryFrom the folk revival to your life.
