I'm that person.

So I'm gonna' be that person. Anyway. . . so far class has been pretty cool, about what what I expected! I'm kind of out of the loop as far as most American music. . . I tend to stay with European bands. I do however like Scott Joplin, Maple Leaf Rag is a great song to listen to and Gershwin is a God! Hahaha! I did enjoy the discussion about Minstrelsy. It's quite interesting to me, the discussion of race in relation to music. Coming from a primarily Native American family in a very rural and white area, looking at things from a racial perspective is interesting. I just wish we could have started a bit earlier in time and taken a look at music in Native American culture. Honestly there has been a greater impact on modern music by African Americans then Native Americans, so it's all understandable! I like the reading, in both books. The one with the cd is a good read and it isn't too wordy which I find helpful when trying to comprehend something! I hope this is long enough :(
