I wish I could have chosen, I probably would have went with blues.
I prob wont share, mainly because all that was asked was a summary of the paper, and only 2 pages needed. I kind of slapped it together, enough to get a decent grade. Currently I have a 98 in the class, and this paper only being worth 10 points, so I didn't put much into it rather then what was needed.
I do think the only interesting thing worth sharing would be my opinion how the early Appalachian string bands sounded quite similar to the early African American music. The banjo was brought over by the slaves, so there's that, but there's also a sound of despair and hardship in music. Obviously the levels of which are quite different, but the way it was used in the music was very similar.
