Blues is a mix of of field hollers, ballads, etc I thought. I think a very simplified breakdown of rock would be blues/R&B having a baby with country music. I didn’t realize how much of an influence classical had til I was in my 20s and started listening to it regularly. My mom would try to get us to listen to classical growing up but I didn’t want to because rap was so much cooler to me then. She knew what she was talking about. Plus looney tunes exposes you to a lot of classical as a kid
Jazz/ Rock/ Blues all have their musical roots in European classical/ orchestral music. Bards were Celtic minstrel poets who came up with the small group to single person “orchestra” which is now called the modern band and the older term for band was much larger. Black slaves took European instruments and lyrical styles and innovated with them to create the sounds we see in jazz and blues.
No arguments. So they took their field hollers and applied them to a European music scale so to speak. One of my favorite old blues song is Gallows Pole by Leadbelly which was redone by Led Zeppelin. The song traces back to a Scottish ballad. That’s what got me interested in looking into more roots of music.
A lot of blues has its roots in Irish and Scottish ballads, the chaotic rhythms seen in jazz can also be seen in Irish jigs. The intermingling of those cultures with black slaves is also where a lot of names (Tyrone is Irish), food (fried foods were Scottish for field workers because the coating held well over time), and social practices (anti-reading, porch lazing, slight culture) were all Scot Irish traits that the New England culture despised.

Pure civil war propaganda. There needs to be a de-yankification of the US culture. Those are lies created by cafe-sitting coffee swilling stockbrokers, bankers and, merchants that have never worked a day in their lives, to feel better about genociding white straight southern males. And they have especially never worked outside in 95 degree weather with 80%+ humididty. You simply cannot work outside like that day in and day out without sitting in the shade in the hottest parts of the day. If you try, you WILL die of heat stroke.
It's especially telling that Africa and the middle east have honor killings without Scottish influence, but somehow as soon as a negro touches American soil, it's the Celts fault. Fuck off with that shit. Negros are Negros.
Sowell is a bane of American culture. There is no such thing as a former communist.

Also, frying food is Energy Boosting 101. Take a cheap piece of food, coat it with breading, fry it in oil/tallow/lard. Instant calorie increase.
Sowell wrote about that in Black Rednecks. At least that’s when I first learned
