RE: Ragtime and Softshoe: Listening to History
What did a night out in Philadelphia sound like one-hundred years ago? I am also interested in the sounds outside of the music. How did the audience sound between songs? What did the 1600 people talk about before and after the show? What were the accents like? Cool idea.
Ooo that'd be cool to pick a date and scan the newspaper for all the music happening that night! And I'm always interested in who went to go see what--so an audience accent/dialect study would be fun, too.
