A Salute to the Golden Age of American Popular Music

We salute the music from Broadway, Hollywood, New Orleans, Tin Pan Alley and the "melody makers;" i.e. the bands and singers that brought the music to us via the radio, recordings and live events in the period from the 1920's to the 1960's. This is the golden period of Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Richard Rodgers, Larry Hart, Oscar Hammerstein, Johnny Mercer, Hoagy Carmichael, Jimmy Van Heusen, Harold Arlen, Harry Warren, etc.

"From Gershwin to Garland - A Musical Journey with Richard Glazier" on New York's WNET

Richard Glazier and WNET's Denise Richardson
Richard Glazier, the marvelous pianist, e-mailed us today a reminder that his "From Gershwin to Garland - A Musical Journey with Richard Glazier" will air on New York's WNET Thirteen this Sunday.

Richard writes; "WNET, a PBS flagship station and NYC's Channel 13, is broadcasting my TV show, "From Gershwin to Garland - A Musical Journey with Richard Glazier", on Sunday, August 14th, at 10:30 AM and 5:30 PM.  I'm proud to say it's one of WNET's pledge programs for August, and I will be seen playing the piano and talking to WNET's wonderful host Denise Richardson during four breaks during the program.  My good friend, Steinway & Sons President for the Americas, Ron Losby, was interviewed for the final segment.  

At the highest pledge level , $275, the thank you gift is two tickets to a concert I'll give at Steinway Hall NY in the fall.        

If you live in the New York area, please be sure to tune in and, if possible, pledge your support (at any level) for this great PBS station.  If you  know someone who lives in NYC, please tell them about the program too, and ask them to tell their friends!  I'll send out a reminder about the date and airtime when it gets closer."
