About the Author

My name is Sam Pimentel. I am seventeen years old. I carried out this research project and created this website while participating in the Telluride Association Summer Program (TASP) at the University of Michigan in the summer of 2005. I was participating in a seminar entitled Music of the Everyday: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives on Popular Music in the United States, 1880-Present, taught by Professors Mark Clague and Derek Vaillant.

Seventeen other students also participated in the seminar. Each one performed a research project on music in the Ann Arbor area and created a website to go with it. A complete directory of all the websites from the seminar is available at http://sitemaker.umich.edu/a2music.history/browse.

For more information about the Telluride Association and its summer programs, see http://www.tellurideassociation.org/.

If you have other questions about the project, feel free to contact me.
