gives me a lot of fond memories: the old 9:30 club, going to my friends to an open air concert in Georgetown, t-shirts from back in the day, etc.

"The [former] slaves were sent in pursuit of them; and one of Colonel Hutchings's own, with another, found him. On their approach, he discharged his pistol at his slave, but missed him, and was taken by them after receiving a wound in his face with a sword." digital.lib.niu.edu/islandora/ob...

Le Jeune contrasting Indigenous and European aesthetic standards is pretty good! Great for discussing cultural relativism. I pair it with the portrait of Louis XIV to discuss ideas of masculinity - see Ch VII here (or search within document for "ugly") moses.creighton.edu/kripke/jesui...

also having to constantly flip over short records while sounds really annoying, but makes listening a much more active process. I recall as a kid in the 80s I had a few 45 singles and an old record player, though thinking about it makes me nostalgic.
