Once again, I love what you've written here. To me it seems that the history of Jazz, or even American Popular music, without meeting the question of race head on. It's about the evolution from the "Coon Songs" of the Ragtime era to the highest artistic expressions in American music. I was bothered by this in the movie Chicago. There were a few racial anachronisms I just couldn't get around. It's like the whole issue was glossed over.
Anyway, keep swinging. I'll probably see you Thursday at the Fine Arts Center.

In my first blog about the origin of the word Jazz I discussed how the term for the music came about. I find it only fitting to talk about how Jazz music as we know it today came about and the only way to do so is to go back to one man, Louis Armstrong.

The word Jazz has a veil of mystery around it. Ask anyone what Jazz is and they can tell you about the music and describe how it's played or some of their favorite musicians but the actually origin of the word itself is a bit of a mystery. Some research has suggested that it traces to African roots in some native launguage of former slaves...

I didn't delve too deeply into the site while it was using the old version, so I can't complain about the structure. I'm actually participating in groups more, etc. However, all the pages and pictures seem to load SO MUCH SLOWER...
I am begining to think I am stuck here and it makes me so sad.

I know the feeling. I just got back from China on Monday and already I'm ready to go back. The Upstate isn't all it's cracked up to be, for sure.
Ugh.
We'll escape eventually, though. Or at least, that's the hope that gets me through my days.

I wasn't sure about bringing it up last night, but sorry you're having that "stuck" feeling. Woa, I get it too!
Everyone know what a palindrome is? Here is possibly the longest one ever. If you start at the very end and read it backwards it says the exact same thing as if you read it from the begining.
