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.

Learning Happens: The Big Band Era
Thursday October 20, 2011,
11:00 AM to 12:00 PM

Sit back and be transported to the Big Band Era, 1935-1945.  Hear about the evolution of the big swing bands, from the birth of jazz in New Orleans to the great ballrooms of America...Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Harry James, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and many more!
 
This program will be presented by Rick Busciglio of Memory Lane Presentations.  Rick is a retired broadcast executive who has combined his lifelong love of films and music and experience in communications to create a series of nostalgic programs that he presents in the NJ/NY/PA area and internationally to the cruise community.
