In the 1930s, the national mood in the USA could be characterized by three words — good, bad and uncertain. Not surprisingly these three sentiments infuse the music of the era. That music expressed the shared sense of community and the pride, humor and hope which built a generation known for strength of character and resilience. Songs like “Brother Can You Spare A Dime” depict the trials of the Great Depression; “Dusty Old Dust “ recounts the greatest environmental disaster of our history, the Dust Bowl; "Amelia Earhart's Last Flight" narrates the loss of a great American icon; and “Happy Days Are Here Again” speaks of the enduring optimism that carried the "Greatest Generation" through the early 20th Century. Join us for an engaging and informative program of duet singing and nationally renowned musicianship on Guitar, Flute, 5-String Banjo and Autoharp. |
