Compact Diss Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Just checking in!! I'm done with all the reading and prep I was doing. Harvard only accepted 39 of my 64 credits from my AA so it threw my enthusiasm out the door. I decided I would take a "fun" course and actually got my boss to approve this course! BB King was the guest speaker last year, may I be so lucky! Anyway--you will see me around again--I'll post some photo's from Harvard Square soon-there is a great live band playing down there every Saturday night! A History of Blues in America MUSI E-139 A History of Blues in America (12261) Charles M. Sawyer, Jr., MS, Senior Support Engineer, Archivas, Inc. 4 units. Noncredit $300, undergraduate credit $525, graduate credit $1,400. Limited enrollment. Tuesday, Sept. 21, 7:35-9:35 pm, Music Building, Room 2. Fall term A study of blues from 1900 to the present. Major artists include McKinley Morganfield (Muddy Waters), Chester Burnett (Howlin' Wolf), Marion Walter Jacobs (Little Walter), Otis Spann, B. B. King, Paul Butterfield, and Kim Wilson. Development of the unique voices of principal instruments (guitar and harmonica) and the role of amplification in establishing the defining style of blues is given special attention. Class time includes listening to and discussing recordings, viewing historic footage, and hearing lecture-demonstrations by major artists. The history of the music is set in the context of social changes that allowed "race" music to enter the mainstream. This class sounds good!! Has anyone checked out the new Tie Dye Strat from Fender??? It looks good to me!! G-A-S!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
