Okay Ap yngling people got a new passage for you

00:08

This one's about the history of blues music That'll be

00:11

kind of cool So note that the first question we're

00:14

going to skim right down to it asked all of

00:16

the following arguments are made in this passage except well

00:24

we usually like to do a quick skim here and

00:26

bluesman from a melting pot It's where they came from

00:29

came to its own an important part of the country's

00:32

relatively new national popular culture in the twenties But say

00:35

the blues was just skeletal Outline Describing human being is

00:38

only dna on that and then forward to hear classical

00:42

music and rainy Tell little white folks here little kind

00:44

of come out but they don't know how to get

01:34

Get rid of'em from the influx of african slaves get

01:37

rid of b and became mainstream in the twentieth century

01:39

Get rid of sea while the author does state that

01:41

rock and roll developed from the blue So get rid
