Gumbo Ya-Ya
Book description
Why read it?
1 author picked Gumbo Ya-Ya as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
My interest in music takes its roots deep into Louisiana because the first music was vocal.
Not only music but all literature had its beginnings in the words of history and folk songs. This book brought light into my young life. It was the beginning to understand American culture through its clearly defined early music. I carried various printings of Gumbo Ya-Ya with me through my early travels through Memphis, Louisiana, Como, Mississippi, etc. The book opened my mind to the history, and because of the book, the traveling opened my mind to the music.
From Franz's list on the roots of social change through popular music.
