This version is done by Louis Armstrong, sung Velma Middleton...
Lead Belly sings "Midnight Special"
George Gershwin's "I Got Rhythm"
Quality isn't the greatest, so let me know if you find a better video of this...
Duke Ellington's "Cotton Tail"
Any last notes? Let's see....
1. Ms. Kelly is planning the Boot Camp. It's completely out of our hands. So don't take any ideas to me anymore. [^^]
2. There are 10 more songs on the music selection list, but I already included "Brother, Can You Spare A Dime" (as sung by Rudy Vallee) earlier, so there's 9 more that I'll post up.
3. School's almost over, so there's not much to say... I guess I'll tell you guys what I'm doing to prep over the summer:
-Read Grapes of Wrath a few times (with my Spark Notes in hand).
-Watch "Grapes of Wrath", "Gold Diggers of 1933", and any other 1930s movies I find interesting.
-Watch a whole bunch of documentaries about the Great Depression.
-Borrow (and read) a bunch of books about the history and economics of the Great Depression.
-Listen to the music a gajillion times.
-Read the shorter selections from the Language & Literature selections.
-Research the art pieces and popular artists of the era. (Hopefully, if there are any relevant art galleries nearby, I'll get to visit them, since my parents'll be bored this summer anyway).
-Read the Economics Basic Guide (and understand it).
-And whatever else I can.
4. Anything else?
