content one - scavenger hunt activity - Spartanburg Music Trail





I really enjoyed learning about Ira Tucker and how he was featured on one of Paul Simon’s songs “Loves Me Like a Rock.” I loved the listening samples that were provided and enjoyed his jazzy music style. 

I also enjoyed learning about Gianna Rolandi and hearing her amazing singing voice. I thought it was admirable how in New York she went on to have over 30 opera roles. 

Finally, I learned about David Ball and enjoyed hearing his samples of country music. I’m not much for country music but I actually didn’t mind his music! I also thought it was interesting how he was a bass player in the Spartanburg Symphony while he was in high school.
