Blog Assignment due Tuesday, April 3

This weekend, YOU need to find an article!  It should be an article about music.  It needs to be school-appropriate, and from a trustworthy news source (newspaper, magazine, channelone, etc).  In your comment, include the link to the article, and one discussion question you'd like to ask your classmates about the article.  This means you have to read the article, but you don't have to read anyone else's yet.

Have fun!
