”Old-Time Radio and the Great American Songbook” This one-hour presentation examines how radio helped to give birth to the "Great American Songbook" by offering songs and singers a unique opportunity to present their songs to a national audience. This show uses both a Power Power Point presentation and a CD of clips featuring some of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century as they were heard on radio including Johnny Mercer, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, and a rare 1934 performance from George Gershwin!
