My thesis has taken many turns throughout the semester. At the start, all I knew is that I wanted to make it about fiddle music, but to what extent, I had no idea. When I finally had the idea to record a podcast, it felt like a lightbulb came on above my head. Since then, I have decided to not only record the songs, but also to interview people about what this music means to them. I want to show how this music was not only important to people back in the past, but also today. I am envisioning a blog where these podcasts can be found that will also give some background as well as some primary sources (sheet music, dance cards, advertisements, etc...)

Your project definitely took many twists, but that is not a bad thing. I commend you for striving to get in touch with that professor and learning how to do a podcast. I would totally listen to them so please include the url in your thesis. I can even imagine Folk music being played at the Thesis Symposium in the Fall when we present out posters. Good luck and keep evolving!
ReplyDeleteHi Chris, I look forward to learning more about your project. One recommendation that I have is to include a transcript for your podcast in order to make it accessible. We might also talk about how to edit the podcast for listen-ability (short snippets).
