Much of the information we learned came from original interviews, books, and other documentaries. If you are interested in learning more about the blues, I suggest checking out Alex Lomax's, "The Land Where Blues Began." This book was truly a wealth of information. I also suggest taking a look at a seven-part PBS blues film series produced by Martin Scorsese simply titled, "The Blues."

    This is an excellent short synopsis of the blues... the music is authentic, the pictures really represent the times. As a Kindermusik educator, part of the curriculum is to introduce African American music to children 5 - 7 yrs old. On my website, I wrote an article and included this video to provide a bit more background than I can introduce in class. musiconnx.com/2008/10/blues-learning-from-each-other-not-from-paper/ I credited the creator, Grayson Goga, and truly hope he will allow me to keep this video there for my students and for other Kindermusik families around the world.
