Some played it in open keys, some in standard keys. And you were judged by how far along you were. People love this song because it\u2019s such a powerful song. The experience in this song is like in the movies or books, good finally wins over bad. After tackling this steam drill, this man in human flesh finally overcomes. This is like one of those hero stories that everyone likes. Although he died in the end, he accomplished his goals. People like to hear stories where people win.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 John Cephas<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>John Cephas was a master of Piedmont blues music. He played acoustic guitar and sang in a strong, melodic voice. The distinguishing characteristics of the Piedmont style are its finger-picking and a bouncy rhythm, which demonstrates the influences of ragtime, string bands, and other popular styles. Learning more about John Cephas, the Piedmont, blues, and the folk hero John Henry opens a window to American history, music, race relations, and the power of traditional culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Local Learning\u2019s virtual residencies with National Endowment for the Arts National Heritage Fellows take us into the communities and lives of master folk artists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":275178,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_subject":[30,33,29],"resource_type":[35],"ll_theme":[54,82,83],"reading_topic":[78],"class_list":["post-275138","resource","type-resource","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","class_subject-english-and-language-arts","class_subject-music","class_subject-social-studies","resource_type-learning-activity-and-lesson-plans","ll_theme-community","ll_theme-history","ll_theme-narrative","reading_topic-national-heritage-fellows"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
