Lisa Ramsey Kelzenberg replied to Elizabeth Hunt's discussion Modern Age - Disco/Hip-Hop/Modern Era Reflections in Using Music and Dance as a Primary Source
"My older borothers loved Elvis.  I remembered when he died.  I heard it on the radio, but didn't really believe until I saw it on TV.  (A more reliable source, I thought.)  American Band Stand was a show we would watch on occasion, but I loved…"

"More reoccuring themes; standards are set, people push the edges, ideas are stolen then changed, dances morph and music is mixed togehter.  I can most relate to the Hillbilly music.  My dad grew up in Kentucky and tells stories of dancing at the…"

Lisa Ramsey Kelzenberg replied to Elizabeth Hunt's discussion WWI, 1920s, Progressives Era Reflections in Using Music and Dance as a Primary Source
"Bob and Nellie sure knew there dance moves and history; very interesting to listen to and watch.  I see how the dance moves fit into the saying of "History Repeats It's Self".  We see it in small ways in fashion, cooking (as Elizabeth said),…"

"Robin did a very nice job.  The dances were quick and easy to learn.  I can see how they would lift the spirits of the folks moving westward in such harsh conditions.  I love the idea of community.  I really try to practice this in my own life too. …"

"I am really making the connection between history and the music and songs that come about because of such events.  There is so much power in a song.  The Negro Spirituals were stories of tradition, hope and sorrow.  The dance teacher was great, so…"

Lisa Ramsey Kelzenberg replied to Elizabeth Hunt's discussion Pre-Colonial Era (Baroque, Renaissance & Pre-Columbus Native America) Reflections in Using Music and Dance as a Primary Source
"I think this class is great!  I love this history portion and the dance and music is an added bonus.  If history is a story picture of the past, the dance and music add color, beauty, feeling, sound and bring life to the story.  I like the minuet…"
