Musical practices permeate the experiences of American troops fighting in the current Iraq war. Music serves many overlapping and sometimes contradictory roles in troops' day-to-day lives, such as providing ways to pass the time, socialize, relax, escape, motivate, process, mourn, remember, forget, and to express a wide range of emotions: pride, fear, joy, boredom, loss, anger. Similar to editors Susan Crafts, Daniel Cavicchi, and Charles Keil of My Music, I consider "musical practices" as all the ways that people engage with music, from playing, recording, and listening, to rejecting it. 1 In the volume's introduction, George Lipsitz writes: Musical practices do not 'start' when we pick up an instrument or when we pay attention to what is happening in a given song. We enter a world of music already in progress around us. No less than in Africa, we encounter music everywhere-at the schools and the symphony halls, in the churches and the taverns, on the radio and television. Our musical practices do not blend life and art as thoroughly as they do in some parts of Africa, but they nonetheless function as nodes in a larger network, as complicated and diverse as ways for people to reaffirm old identities and to forge new ones. 2
