We were at the beach...

Performance Ideas:
-Line dancing with Laura.
-Spray-paintings of famous roots music artists. It looks really cool. And I get embarrassed easily so performing an act or whatev would not be so hot.
-Play a song on an instrument.
-Maybe give a blues theory lesson. I don’t know much. But it could be fun. Or if we could get the piano lab room and have everyone learn how to do a blues progression or something.

Deep Blues:
-The thing about Coyner was maybe meant to show a juxtaposition between Charley Patton and Coyner’s deaths and how some African Americans dealt with oppression as opposed to music as a release/expression of the same type of strong emotions.
- “We know even less about Henry Sloan then we know about Charley Patton.” p.57. Oops! ‘Than’ not ‘then.’

Discussion:
-I like music and I think there are things to appreciate in every genre of it.
