Remember, whether you have newspapers or antique clothing or war memorabilia, these precious items are doing no one any good sitting in a box in your attic. Set it to music. Play the folk songs and patriotic anthems of the country you are studying. No people ever lived without music. No battle was ever fought without a patriotic tune.
People celebrate all events with music.
