To The Left: Ramsey on Music, Museums, and Keepin’ Up with the Joneses

Black Music Month, Day #16

Today’s posting is a video of my appearance on Duke Professor Mark Anthony Neal’s program, Left of Black.  We’ve all witnessed interviews in which it’s clear that the show’s producers and not the host prepared for show.  Not so here. We chopped it up about  a range of questions: music, my Apollo exhibition (which is now in Los Angeles), music and art literatures, extended family ties and music traditions, inner-city baseball, and even Chicago steppin’ culture–all in under a half-hour.  Enjoy, and see you tomorrow for Day #17’s post.
