Listening list for April 2, 2020 - Some of that jazz (and declarations needed!)

Two things, this is the listening list. The lyrics and notes will be ready by April 2 (at the latest).

And.... if possible please send in your declarations for ability to engage in remote (zdalne) classes. I'm not planning on recording myself doing lectures right now... (you're welcome) but they could come in handy.
If you've sent me the declaration for another class it wouldn't hurt to send it for this one too.....
