Today we listened to a great deal of music, much of which was from the Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz.  Selections included: Dippermouth Blues (Joe "King" Oliver), Grandpa's Spells (Jelly Roll Morton), Dead Man Blues (Morton), Black Bottom Stomp (Morton), Cake Walking Babies (Louis Armstrong/Red Onion Jazz Babies), Struttin' with some Barbeque (Armstrong), SOL Blues (excerpt--Armstrong), Potato Head Blues (excerpt--Armstrong), West End Blues (Armstrong), Weather Bird (Armstrong/Earl Hines).  From the cd entitled The Real Kansas City of the '20s, '30s, and 40's, we heard Kater Street Rag (Bennie Moten), Boot to Boot (Jesse Stone), Won't You Come Over to My House? (Julia Lee with the George E. Lee Novelty Singing Orchestra), Paseo Street Strut (Lee), and Blue Devil Blues (Blue Devils).  We then view almost half of Episode Three, Our Language, of the Ken Burns' series Jazz.
