We all know Pain is Germane to the Creation of God's Divine Gift MUSIC

I posit here the theory that one can instantly surmise GENRE of GIFT by listening for
RHYMES with the word PAIN itself

Let's give it a try

By all means, submit new genre concepts to sallytrout1@hotmail.com

And we're off!!

Some might say very off, in fact...

Now the first one is easy, we get more esoteric from there

Pain + Rain                                    =         Country Music

Pain + Grain                                   =         Anthem,  I would guess

Pain + Main                                    =        Probably a sea shanty, no?

Pain + Slain                                    =         A Ballad, I think we can also add Dane, and        
                                                                 Bane (esp. Wolf's) and probably Feign

Pain + Gain, Lain or Jane               =         Rock and Roll, for sure

Pain + In Vain  or Moon in Wane    =        Bluegrass

Pain +   Cane                                 =         Calypso

Pain + Train                                   =         Anything American <g>

Pain + Zane                                    =         New Riders? (now I'm just being silly)

Pain + Glain                                    =       Soprano with hideously effected accent singing    
                                                                 of Ruth and Boaz in the future fields of David??

Pain + Crane                                  =        Sitcom? Raffi in a bad mood?

and my TWO FAVORITES

Pain + Stain                                    =          PUNK

PAIN + NO PAIN                              =           REGGAE (thank you Priscilla!)
