WS11 COLLEGE Lesson Plan
WS11 COLLEGE Lesson Plan April Ballard, M.Ed, BS Title: Music; THE FIRST FAMILY OF COUNTRY MUSIC: THE CARTER FAMILY Inspiration, Support & Love Transaction Subjects: English, History, Critical Thinking, Creative Writing, Public Speaking Length: Three Class Sessions Grade Level: College Context (Topic and Summary of Lesson Identified): The topic of this lesson is, “Music: A source of Encouragement and Support" This lesson plan is designed to educate students about the history of The Great Depression, while also encouraging them to make a connection to music as an inspiration. This will hopefully inspire them to create their own music and art as well. One of the goals of this lesson is for students to understand the history of the Great Depression as it relates specifically to family life during that time, and, in turn, how the music of the Carter family uplifted people. The lesson will encourage the students to make a connection to the ways that music evokes emotions, which will inspire them as they write and create their own poetry, and eventually song. The poetry the students write will be entirely up to them as far as the style of poetry. The guideline and overall idea for the poetry will be for them to create a poem/song that will inspire, encourage, and/or celebrate moving beyond difficult times. The poetry does not have to be personal to them, but could be if they so choose. It could be that they want to write their poetry from the perspective of someone during the Great Depression. The lesson will allow students to apply what they learn about the Great Depression into their poetry and by creating their own words and eventually song (song design).

1 the Words December 2007 Over the Last 15 Years Or So I Have Been
Songbook version January 2008 The Words December 2007 Over the last 15 years or so I have been collecting lyrics to songs - mostly old-time country, bluegrass, cowboy, and old blues songs. I wanted to consolidate these lyrics into one big searchable file that I could use as a reference. I started with the Carter Family, Stanley Brothers, Flatt & Scruggs, Bill Monroe, and Uncle Dave Macon sections, which I had in separate documents, previously downloaded from the web over the last few years. I can’t remember where I got the Carter Family or Uncle Dave songs, but the rest were mostly from Bluegrasslyrics.com. I had the rest of the songs in a huge binder. Excluding those that were already in the existing sections, I searched the web for lyrics that were close to the version I had. Other useful websites: www.mudcat.org www.traditionalmusic.co.uk http://mywebpages.comcast.net/barb923/lyrics/i_C.htm www.cowboylyrics.com http://prewarblues.org/ (not so many lyrics, but a cool site) There is a rough Table of Contents at the start of the document, and a detailed Index at the end. I’d recommend using the Index if you are looking for something in particular, or use your search tool. (There is no reason why some of the song titles are in CAPS but they are mostly Carter Family songs). I haven’t been able to read every song, so there may be lyrics that are insensitive, especially in the Uncle Dave Macon section. I’m sorry if I missed them.

BRUMLEY Albert E. Brumley (1905-1977) was the most influential American gospel song composer of the twentieth century, penning such “classics” within the genre as “Jesus, Hold My Hand,” “I’ll Meet You in the Morning,” “If We Never Meet Again,” “Turn Your Radio On,” and “Rank Strangers to Me.” His “I’ll Fly Away” has become the most recorded gospel song in American history with over one thousand recordings to date, and several of his works transcend cultural boundaries of style, genre, race, denomination, and doctrine.

RCA Camden Label Discography the RCA Camden Label Was Started in 1953 As a Budget Label
RCA Discography Part 57 - By David Edwards, Mike Callahan, and Patrice Eyries. © 2018 by Mike Callahan RCA Camden Label Discography The RCA Camden label was started in 1953 as a budget label. It was named after Camden New Jersey which was the manufacturing and distribution center of RCA Victor records. Much of the material released by Camden were reissues of albums released by RCA Victor, usually with a few less songs. Initially the label was used for classical releases but soon started releasing popular, country and comedy albums. Albums released by Camden included ones released by RCA of Canada using the same numbering system. These RCA of Canada albums were only distributed in Canada and were not listed in the Schwann catalogs.

Happy Reading! Robin & Chrissie
EVERLYPEDIA (formerly The Everly Brothers Index – TEBI) Coordinated by Robin Dunn & Chrissie van Varik A complete (as far as is possible) index/encyclopaedia on every facet of Don & Phil Everly, covering their lives, careers, influences and connections – of course, from us as huge fans, with all due respect to them and their families. For more recording information, see also the various detailed discography lists on the EBI website (Everly.Net); for lyrics to songs, please refer to the Lyric List on the same website (http://www.everly.net/file/disco/disco.htm ). KEY/GLOSSARY/NOTES: • WB: Warner Brothers • EBs: The Everly Brothers • LPs, CDs etc. are generally (but not always) referred to throughout as ‘albums’. • Other than important (re)releases, only the original/initial album release is referred to. • Entries are listed under the first letter, including titles that start with a bracket, e.g. ‘(Why Am I) Chained To A Memory’, but exclude ‘The’ in which case they are listed under the second word. • Surnames or family names come first in the index. • Headings are coloured blue for song and album titles and maroon for everything else. • All words in bold type in the text are cross-references to other main entry headings – although no doubt we’ve missed a few! • Entries are generally aimed to be informative and we have attempted to keep them brief though some are lengthy due to the importance and significance in the life and career of Don and Phil. However, in some cases, due to the limitations of space and the huge volume of material available elsewhere, details have been kept to a bare minimum and relate mainly to the ‘Everly connection’ – e.g.

In Judaism the ers believe that His agony was His reluctance to take matzo (unleavened bread) is often referred to as “The the sins of the world upon Himself, which would be Bread of Affliction.” If you eat it for a week you’ll an unbearable weight for any natural man.

The bitter herb reminds us of the suffering of the Jewish people as slaves under Pharaoh. My ancestors suffered greatly for hundreds of years.
