Listening list for the African American Musical Tradition - first list (mostly 19th century)

 Here are the lyrics for class October 11, 2018.

I haven't checked each and every link to make sure it still works, if you find a dead link, please leave a comment or send an email to my university email address.

Also feel free to leave comments on your impressions of the music.
