Great Material. Quizes and discussions didn't work, But i was only auditing the course. There is a wealth of information.
An excellent course. Truly informative and engaging. I recommend this course to those interested in the Blues, its history and birthplace.
Amazing course! Conversational, relaxed lectures that are well-informed, paired with excellent archival footage--mostly generated by the presenting professor.
This were some amazing and enjoyable weeks to learn so ,much about stories and music of the South. Thank you very much and in particular for the fotos and the audio and video recordings.
