Your journal should include a sentence or two about five (or more) of the record

Your journal should include a sentence or two about five (or more) of the recordings listed below and a paragraph that addresses the unit’s recordings as a group. Each individual track response must include a specific observation that points to a particular musical event in the recording. Timestamps pointing to these specific moments should be used to make the point you are referring to as clear as possible (i.e. “At 1:32 in the recording we hear a guitar responding to the vocal line / an abrupt change in tempo / the first of a series of riffs / etc”). You may also discuss a particular recording in more depth or make any other observations you would like in regard to the assigned listening for this. The responses in your listening journal should demonstrate evidence of critical listening and engagement with the course materials more generally.
The tracks you are required to address are as follows:
Victor Minstrel Company – “Mobile Minstrels” (1909)
Arthur Collins – “The Preacher and the Bear” (1908)
The Victor Military Band – “Memphis Blues” (1914)
