When I was a young lad, we had Music Appreciation class in school, which gave us an overview of music. But lately, when I speak with college students about music, I get responses like "Who's Lead Belly" "Who's Woody Guthrie" So, what musicians from the past should everyone know. Not in detail, but at the "Oh, yeah, I've heard that name, what did they do?" level. I'll start with Lead Belly Woody Guthrie John Phillips Souza Bob Dylan Stephen Foster Glenn Miller Billie Holliday Mississippi John Hurt
