Learning Activities: Song #11 ~~ Don't-Be-Moody-Do-Yo LEARNING ACTIVITIES: ©GayeAdegbalola SONG #11 ~~ DON'T-BE-MOODY-DO-YO'-DUTY SONG FLAVOR: BO DIDDLEY BEAT • Maracas are musical instruments that sound likearattle. Many Bo Diddleysongs featurethesoundof maracas. (Don't know Bo? See below.) You can makeyour own maracas from recycled materials. Take 2 plastic water bottles. Make sure they are dry. Fill about 1/4 full of dried beans. Seal the lidswith tape. Getto shakin'! • This song is full ofopposites: open&close, down & up,on&off,right&wrong, borrow & return. Can you thinkofother opposites? Try to come up withatleast 10. Now try to makethem "action" wordslikedropping down &picking up or opening and closing. • When we try to think of ideas, an easy waytodo so is by brainstorming. Itis a way to solve problems bycomingup withas many ideas as possible. Youare encouraged to come up withnew, creative ideas without judgingwhether they are goodor bad, realistic or not. For example, think of 10 uses for anempty plastic bottle. Of course,weknow it can be used for holdingliquids, butitcan also be cut so that it can be used as a shovel, or for making maracas, or as a noise maker. Thelonger we think,usually the more interesting our ideas become. Here'sagood brainstorming exercise: Comeup with50uses forapaper clip. •Inthis song,we are singing about how to respondto a problem. Sometimespeople behave inunacceptable ways. For example, sometimes it is hard to ask people topick up somethingthey've droppedonthe ground. Many newspapers have an advice column. In this column,people write in toask advice about how to handle certain situations. Someofthese are about personal relations. Others are abouthousehold questions. With your parents or teachers, find some advice columns and see how they are written. Now act like you are thewriter of the advice column. Give answers to the following letters sentin: ~ Dear AdviceGiver, I love my best frienddearly,but whenshe eats, she chews with her mouth open. It is very noisy and not veryp retty to lookat. HowcanI tell her thatthis is not polite without hurting her feelings? ~ Dear AdviceGiver, I went to visit a friend and his family has people whowork for them. Heisonly7 years old andtheypeople who work for thefamily arearound 40 and 50years old. I have always been taught to call older people as"Mr.SoandSo" or "Mrs. So and So." I alsosay"yes, sir" and "yes, ma'am" to my elders. My friend calls them by their first names, "Jake" and "Carmen," and only answers "yes" and "no." Thisd oesn't feel right tome. What should I do? ~ Dear AdviceGiver, My mother just boughtanewcar, butit is very small. She says she is doing her partto reduce use of theEarth's oil resources. Shesays that everyone needsto do what hecan to keepfrom using up the Earth's supplies. It'llbealong time beforeI driveacar, but what else can I do to help savethe Earth? ~ Dear AdviceGiver, The new girl at school doesn't have niceclothes and hasan awful body odor. Many studentsmake funof her. Idon't do that. Idofeel bad for her and in some way I would like to help. Should I say something to the other students? Should I say somethingto her? What should I do?

Bit scary and I would say a number of you may have to go through beginner lessons again and also wear name tags lol. On the 9th of May the national association had their AGM with a number of clubs from throughout New Zealand that were involved. First time ever we had to run the meeting through zoom so talking to 40 odd people from around the country was quite weird but it worked. A number of remits were discussed and voted on with a collection of changes mostly good but a few I didn’t agree with but you all can see it all on the association website if you are interested in looking . Also senior and junior nationals were voted on where they should be hosted and that is also advertised on their website. Juniors next year will be in Porirua and Seniors will be in Wanganui.

  • BO DIDDLEY's UNCONVENTIONAL 1950'S SOUND and ITS
    BO DIDDLEY’S UNCONVENTIONAL 1950’s SOUND AND ITS ANTICIPATION OF HIP HOP OVERVIEW ESSENTIAL QUESTION How were Bo Diddley’s recordings an anomaly in relation to 1950s Pop music, and how is his rhythm-driven sound and self-presentation a precursor to Hip Hop style? OVERVIEW From his first appearance on the Billboard R&B chart in 1955 and continuing over his five- decade career, Bo Diddley has been celebrated for the rhythm-driven, percussive sound of his ensemble, at the center of which was Diddley’s guitar playing. If by the Rock era the guitar solo became a symbolic centerpiece in recordings and performances, Diddley’s emphasis was always on the rhythm guitar. His approach didn’t revolve around the single- and double-note leads that came to dominate the music. Instead, Bo Diddley pioneered a sound that involved every member of his combo playing with a percussive sensibility. Rhythm was emphasized over melody, with a vocal style that often approximated Rap set against that rhythmic backdrop. Earlier even than James Brown, Diddley inadvertently pointed to a Hip Hop future. His best-known rhythm guitar pattern (three strokes/rest/two strokes, or “shave and a haircut, two bits”) influenced many. The “Bo Diddley beat,” as it came to be known, appeared on records by Buddy Holly, the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, U2, rapper B.o.B., and many others. In Bo Diddley’s own songs, the “Bo Diddley beat” was often combined with remarkably simple chord changes, as can be heard on his self-titled debut single, “Bo Diddley.” Throughout that single-chord song, which went to No.

  • “Bo Diddley” and “I'm a Man” (1955)
    “Bo Diddley” and “I’m a Man” (1955) Added to the National Registry: 2011 Essay by Ed Komara (guest post)* Bo Diddley While waiting in Bo Diddley’s house to conduct an interview for the February 12, 1987 issue of “Rolling Stone,” journalist Kurt Loder noticed a poster. “If You Think Rock and Roll Started With Elvis,” it proclaimed, “You Don’t Know Diddley.” This statement seems exaggerated, but upon listening to Diddley’s April 1955 debut 78 on Checker 814, “Bo Diddley” backed with “I’m A Man,” it becomes apt, perhaps even understated. Bo Diddley (1928-2008) described his own place in music history to Loder. “People wouldn’t even bother with no stuff like ‘Bo Diddley’ and ‘I’m A Man’ and stuff like that ten years earlier [circa 1945] or even a year earlier [1954]. Then Leonard and Phil Chess decided to take a chance, and suddenly a whole different scene, a different kind of music, came in. And that was the beginning of rock and roll.” The composer credit for Checker 814 reads “E. McDaniels,” and there begins the tale. Bo Diddley was born Ellas Otha Bates in McComb, Mississippi on December 30, 1928 to a teenage mother and her local boyfriend. He was raised, however, by his maternal first cousin, Gussie McDaniel, to whom he was taken to Chicago, and given her surname McDaniel. He grew up on the South Side of the city, where he learned violin, trombone and, at age 12, the guitar. Before long, he was playing for change on the local streets.

  • Chuck Berry's "Maybellene"
    Maybellene An Article by Frank Daniels Chess Singles Label Styles Label 50 – June 1950 through September 1957 This label appears on 45 RPM and 78 RPM singles. “CHESS” appears at the top, with chess pieces to the side and through the logo. The 45 RPM singles have the colors swapped, with the white color replaced by silver. Label 57 – October 1957 through March 1961 Blue, black, or gold label with CHESS running vertically down the left side. Chess released singles at 78 RPM only for potential hits after 1958, with the latest known 78 being Chuck Berry’s “Let it Rock” in late January 1960. Some singles continued to use the blue label until March 1963. Label 61 – April 1961 through March 1963 Yellow, red, and black label with arrows pointing to CHESS. CHESS appears at the right side. Label 63 – March 1963 through October 1966 Black label with CHESS in front of a shield at the top. Label 66 – November 1966 through July 1971 Light blue label with CHESS in red, white, and blue at the top. In March 1969, Chess became part of General Recorded Tape (GRT), but the label style remained the same for two more years. One pressing plant kept this label into 1972. Label 71 – July 1971 through July 1975 Orange and turquoise label with rim print reading “A GRT Record Group Co., Div. of GRT Corp.” or “Manufactured by GRT Corporation.” While it seems as though one of the two wordings ought to have been “first” and the other “second,” both appear on singles from 1971 all the way through 1975.

  • Detroit Rock & Roll by Ben Edmonds for Our Purposes, The
    "KICK OUT THE JAMS!" Detroit Rock & Roll by Ben Edmonds For our purposes, the story of Detroit rock & roll begins on September 3, 1948, when a little-known local performer named John Lee Hooker entered United Sound Studios for his first recording session. Rock & roll was still an obscure rhythm & blues catchphrase, certainly not yet a musical genre, and Hooker's career trajectory had been that of the standard-issue bluesman. A native of the Mississippi Delta, he had drifted north for the same reason that eastern Europeans and Kentucky hillbillies, Greeks and Poles and Arabs and Asians and Mexicans had all been migrating toward Michigan in waves for the first half of the 20th Century. "The Motor City it was then, with the factories and everything, and the money was flowing," Hooker told biographer Charles Shaar Murray." All the cars were being built there. Detroit was the city then. Work, work, work, work. Plenty work, good wages, good money at that time."1 He worked many of those factories, Ford and General Motors among them, and at night he plied the craft of the bluesman in bars, social clubs and at house parties. But John Lee Hooker was no ordinary bluesman, and the song he cut at the tail of his first session, "Boogie Chillen," was no ordinary blues. Accompanied only by the stomp of his right foot, his acoustic guitar hammered an insistent pattern, partially based on boogie-woogie piano, that Hooker said he learned from his stepfather back in Mississippi as "country boogie." Informed by the urgency and relentless drive of his Detroit assembly line experiences, John Lee's urban guitar boogie would become a signature color on the rock & roll palette, as readily identifiable as Bo Diddley's beat or Chuck Berry's ringing chords.
