Birth of Rock and Roll – Day 6 Bell Ringer: Write a reflection of about one page concerning how you went about writing your love story. What was hard? What was easy? Do you think you did a good job? What was the best feature? What was the part you could improve? How long did it take you? Did you borrow from what we did in class? How? Do your lyrics tell a story or is there no real story to your song? Why?

Targets:  Know:  Key developments in the invention and development of the electric guitar in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s  The impact of the electric guitar on the Blues in the 1940s and after  Be able to:  Evaluate the effects of technology on history and culture  Common Core: Students will identify research sources on the Internet and evaluate their credibility and relevance for their research task (CCSS Writing 8; CCSS Speaking and Listening 2)

Motivational Activity:  1.Divide students into pairs for a “Think, Pair, Share” activity.  2.Ask students to write down one item they use on a daily basis that is powered by electricity.  3.Next, ask students to imagine how that task could be accomplished without electricity.  4.Students should share their responses with their partners.  5.Ask each pair to discuss the advantages of electricity for this particular tool or gadget. Does it have any disadvantages? What was gained and what was lost by the creation of an electrified gadget that could accomplish this task?  6.Ask a few pairs to share their findings with the class as a whole.

 Play the short clip of Robert Johnson playing "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom" (1936) [:00-1:00] and discuss:  What instrument(s) do you hear?  Where would you guess Johnson is playing?  Why do you think Country Blues artists like Johnson played acoustic guitar?  Why do you think so many Country Blues artists performed as solo artists?  What is the overall effect of Johnson’s performance? What mood does it create? What images come to mind when you hear it?

 Play the short clip of Elmore James playing "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom" (1959) [1:00-1:52], and discuss:  What instrument(s) do you hear? How many musicians do you think were involved in this recording?  Where would you guess the musicians are playing? What is the overall effect of the performance? What mood does it create? What images come to mind when you hear it? What are the main differences between this recording and Johnson's?  What are the main similarities between the two recordings? Would you classify them as belonging to the same genre of music? Why or why not? (Please note that while both recordings can be described as traditional Blues, the first is considered Country Blues, while the second is an example of Urban or Electric Blues.)  Why do you think an artist like Elmore James might have wanted to use an electric rather than an acoustic guitar? What are the advantages of an electric guitar?  Based on what you have heard in these recordings, do you think the overall effect of the electric guitar on the Blues was positive or negative? Support your answer.

Rock re-mix  The "Dust My Broom" video ends with a clip from the 1967 version of the song by Canned Heat, the California-based Blues Rock band.  Discuss how it relates to both the Robert Johnson and Elmore James versions.  Explain to students that the song offers an example of how Blues was adopted and transformed by young, white Rock musicians in the 1960s.  Questions to discuss include: What instruments do you hear? What is the overall effect of the recording? How is the clip similar to the Elmore James version of the song? How is it different? Would you describe the Canned Heat version as Blues or Rock? Or both?

Writing Prompts – Pick one, research, write in Journal. One page, double spaced, typed.  How did the electric guitar begin to transform the Blues in the 1940s and 1950s?  What were some of the key technological developments and early models that helped bring the electric guitar into the mainstream?

Targets:  Know:  The importance of R&B as a musical gateway to the Rock and Roll of the mid-1950s  The role of labels like Atlantic Records in circulating R&B to both a black and a white audience  Some key differences between R&B and early Rock and Roll  Be able to:  Common Core: Students will work together to closely read a text to determine what the text says and to draw logical inferences; students will cite specific quotes when writing and speaking to support their conclusions (CCSS Reading 1; CCSS Speaking and Listening 1; CCSS Language 6)  Common Core: Students will review multiple sources to gain knowledge and make connections (CCSS Speaking and Listening 2); students will either take a position in a music review (CCSS Writing 1) or write a short research paper (CCSS Writing 7)

THE INFLUENCE OF RHYTHM AND BLUES  What Elvis did pre-existed him—even if the way he put it together did not. As this lesson will suggest, one crucial "parent" to early Rock and Roll was Rhythm and Blues, or R&B. As Fats Domino said in the mid-1950s, "What they call Rock and Roll I've been playing in New Orleans for years." Many would agree with him. The subject of this lesson is the music of which Fats Domino speaks: the R&B of the pre-Rock and Roll era.

What was R&B, and where did it come from?  The answers to that question are many and certainly crucial for any deeper understanding of the Rock and Roll story. The short version has it that when the Swing bands went out, due in part to the wartime economy and the daunting costs of keeping a large ensemble on the road, smaller combos became popular. Those smaller combos had a sound that many described as more "raw." Artists like Louis Jordan emerged in this moment, influencing a number of Rock and Rollers, Chuck Berry among them. As the R&B recordings reveal, these smaller combos retained the emphasis on horn sections, but, by virtue of being smaller groups of players, their sound left more musical room for other instruments. That being the time when electric guitar technology was getting more advanced, this meant that when the guitar players got more space, they met it with more volume. Thus the R&B sound edged toward Rock and Roll.

Playlist – Rhythm and Blues 

Motivational Activity:  Ahmet Ertegun, founder of Atlantic Records stated:  "We had a little bit of a rough time trying to get our artists to do anything resembling the blues. They were more singers like LaVern Baker and Ruth Brown... the [New York City-based] bands we had were composed of players from the big jazz bands and swing orchestras who had become studio musicians. They were not at all like the kind of musicians who were playing the blues in Chicago, like Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon and all those people. When we had these musicians try to play in an authentic blues fashion, it didn't work. The result, however, was quite intriguing. What emerged was music with a blues feel, but with a particularly Northern, urban influence."

 Explain what you think Ertegun was after but couldn't find.  What kind of music was he looking for?  Why do you think he wanted a "Blues" sound?  Why couldn't he find it in New York City?  What could he find?  What kind of musicians specifically was Ertegun able to find to play on records?

Muddy Waters' "Rollin' Stone"  How would you describe the sound of Muddy Waters' music?  What do you think Ahmet Ertegun liked about Muddy Waters' music?  And what, again, were the reasons Ertegun said he couldn't record music like Muddy Waters' in New York City?

 LaVern Baker performing "Tra La La’’ v. Muddy Waters  Once they have watched, ask them to keep this and Muddy Waters in their minds, and split them into groups of three.  Have each group write down, first, the instrumentation they see and hear in each song, and, second, a list of adjectives that describe Baker's song and performance, and then Waters'.  Ask them to consider differences in vocal style, in the sounds of the instruments (sweet or rough?), in the performance styles of the singers, and in the overall moods of the songs.  When they have had five minutes to complete this, ask each group to have a representative read the results.  Why do you think Ertegun's recording of LaVern Baker ended up sounding "sweeter" than the music of Muddy Waters, which Ertegun said he originally hoped to capture?  What in Ertegun's statement above provides a clue to this question?

 Replay a minute of the LaVern Baker clip before turning to Chuck Berry's "Maybellene.“  Have the class go back into their groups, creating another two lists of adjectives to describe the differences between Chuck Berry and LaVern Baker.  When each group is finished, ask them to share their lists with the class.

Summary Activity:  Why might Ahmet Ertegun have liked the music of Chuck Berry? Base your answer on Ertegun's statements above.  Does Berry's music feature any particular instrument?  Is any particular instrument notably absent in the band he's performing with?  How, then, would you use this comparison to demonstrate the differences between R&B and early Rock and Roll?

Journal Entry  Written expression: Have students write their own record review of "Maybellene" by Chuck Berry, as if writing for an audience in 1956 that listens to R&B. In the review, they should explain how Rock and Roll is "new" and what they find better (or worse) about it than R&B. Remember, this is an opinion piece.
