Leadbelly Irene
Goodnight Irene
Down below a bit, I was trying to make some sonnets based around some texts of Leadbelly and other memes.
As luck would have it, I came across the NPR top 100 pieces of music of the twentieth century.
Included in the 100 is Leadbelly's Goodnight Irene one version recorded by John Lomax when Leadbelly was still in prison.
Others in the century are
John Cage's 4 min 33'
Fire and Rain by James Taylor
Graceland by Paul Simon
along with a great selection

That is a great idea. Did you complete any sonnets? A "Goodnight Irene" sonnet would be great.
Just makes me wonder if I could get "You caused me to weep / You caused me to moan / You caused me to leave my home" into iambic pentameter.
