Blog Summary

Blog summary for sept. 23-26.

A few people have posted performance ideas...
Yeah performs next week and is thinking about doing an art orientated performance, but still needs help deciding on what to do. Theres more to life than this has a few ideas: line dancing with Laura, Spray-paintings of famous roots music artists, play a song on an instrument, or give a blues theory lesion.

A few others have posted the song they want to do their report on.
I was forced to wants to do "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" by Charlie Daniels. Greenstar wants to do either "Weary Days" by The Whitstein Brothers or "Dig a Little Deeper" by Mahalia Jackson. Roots Music wants to go with "I Got a Woman" by Ray Charles, and FYS-Blog wants to do Little Brother Montgomery's "The First Time I Met You." All of these songs sound great.

Roots music fys posted a chapter 3 summary. Its very well done. It explains that chapter 3 returns to the (musical) life of Muddy Waters.

Well, that's all the blogging that was done over the past 3 days, thanks to all the posters for giving me something to write about.

Later
