Blog 8 - Difficulties with Analyzing this Music Culture

While writing out my ethnography, I thought all the questions I had answered would be well over enough information to write 1,200 words, but as it turns out, much of it overlaps. Some of the different questions in separate aspects of music seem to have the same answer. The transitions they make are very smooth, but then I keep jumping from aspect to aspect with no direction. It flows really well, if the aspects weren’t taken into account, but that is one of the key points to organizing this paper. So now, I have two main paragraphs that include of the aspects each, and it needs to be organized better than that.

However, it was nice that the interview was able to go so smoothly. The person that I interviewed, Preston Patridge, is a friend from high school that is currently going to North Texas and is also the one who introduced me to this church. Other information that I searched for was easily found online as well.

But my main problem right now is that I need better organization and I need more words. I am at about 800, and though I do not feel completely stuck quite yet, I feel like it is quickly approaching and that more information is going to be needed.

Thankfully, with a little time and effort, these problems of organization and lack of words can be fixed by digging a bit more and really diving into this music culture. The culture deserves more depth than that anyway.
