I read an interview between Louis Armstrong and member of the Board of Editors of the U.S. News & World Reports. The interview took place in December, 1955. This was an important document because in the interview they asked Louis what infulence jazz music had on America. You can tell by his answers the strong passion he had for music, and how much he knew about the history of music.
"They knew your music over there?"
"Sure, that's why they come-come over to hear me. If you don't believe it, lemme play in Russia and you'll have so many people goin' you'd think they was goin' to a football game." - Louis Armstrong
Louis music was well known all over the world, it was life changing. He shared his passion with people throughout the world, and it changed America's music culture in many ways. The person giving the interview was trying to get an idea of music around the world, especially Louis Armstrong's. By the questions that were asked, it sounded like they were surprised Louis was known around the world.
A man named Joseph F. Lamb was another famous ragtime musician, who had met Scott Joplin. He really enjoyed listening to Joplin's music, and started writing his own music. Here is a recoreded interview given to Joseph F. Lamb, talking about when he first met Scott Joplin.

An interview between Michael Jackson and Bob Colacello in 1982, talked about Michael's experiences in preforming. Michaels said that he enjoyed it even as a little boy, in his families group, The Jackson Five. His dance moves and songs that he preformed on stage will never be forotten, they were a huge influence on America's culture of music.
"Did you like performing as a child? Did you always love it?" - Bob Colacello (Interviewer)
"Always did. I always enjoyed the feeling of being onstage—the magic that comes. When I hit the stage it’s like all of a sudden a magic from somewhere just comes and the spirit just hits you and you just lose control of yourself. I came onstage at Quincy’s [Jones] concert at the Rose Bowl and I did not want to go onstage. I was ducking and hiding and hoping he wouldn’t see me hiding behind
people when he called me on. Then I went up there and I just went crazy. I started climbing up the scaffold, the speakers, the light gear. The audience started getting into it and I started dancing and singing and that’s what happens." - Michael Jackson (Interviewee)

Preforming music today is so much different then it was in the 1800s-1900s. Back then the musicians were ellogant, and today the preformers are moving around, dancing, etc. Although music is still very much alive in American, it has changed a great deal.
Luke Byran is one of the top country stars today. I read an interview given to him in 2008, asking him about his accomplishments in the year of 2008. He talks about being one of the top artists of that time, and how much he enjoys his music career.
"At the same time, Bryan’s second major cut as a songwriter - Billy Currington’s "Good Directions" - was quickly climbing the country airplay charts and eventually hit the top spot on the country singles charts in May 2007 giving the Georgia native his first #1 song as a songwriter. Bryan’s first major cut was the title track to Travis Tritt’s "Honky Tonk History." - Luke Bryan
He is a very successful singer/songwriter, and is very popular today. Changes in music have occurred, but the passion is still the same.
A popular pop singer named Adele, is another one of the top artists today. Her music is moving and she is a great preformer. She was interviewed in 2009 after the Grammy Awards about her process in writing her music. She writes about relationships that she's been in, and other personal experiences. According to her interview, writing her music is a way to express her feelings of a situation.
"I'd be like, 'No, I'll have an imagination thank you very much, I'm not going to carry it on,'" she says. "And then when it came to naming this record it was the only relevant thing, because my relationship that the entire record is about was about me coming of age, and 21 is the age when you're suddenly a proper adult and on your own." - Adele
