Music and other subjects
June 5, 2008
I was looking around at other blogs and came across Jamie’s. He had a link to the history of entertainment. I looked around on it and found audio files recorded in the 1920’s of jazz artists. One song was “Keep you skirt down Maryann”. In music, we would listen to the instruments and see what kind of instruments were being used along with what style were they playing. In sociology, the same song would be analyzed by the words and their meaning. I listened a little and Maryann’s aunt was telling her to keep her skirt down, but Maryann thought she had a nice dimple on her……….knee. Oh how times have changed. That could spark a lot of interesting conversation with high school students.
