There is no better way to experience the continuous, dramatic shifts and spirit in twentieth century American life than to delve into its popular music. To that end, pianist/singer/narrator Fred Miller has been presenting his extensive series of Lectures-In-Song for nearly a decade. Each of the 60+ different Lectures examines through anecdote and song some personality or important aspect of America´s Golden Age of Popular Song. Fred´s original series of 6 Lectures-In-Song: Popular Song As American History moves from era to era beginning with the late 19th century thru both World Wars and beyond, ending on the time line at that abrupt, pivotal moment [really just a few months] when the President was assassinated and the Beatles arrived [1963-1964]. There is one final 7th program, a postscript to this series, showcasing the musical high points on the American scene from 1965 on. Although it would be impossible not to mention Gershwin, Porter, Berlin, Rodgers, Mercer and the dozens of other giants covered in previous Lectures-In-Song, this series focuses almost entirely on songs, songwriters, performers and personalities not mentioned previously. 1892-1919: “How Ya Gonna Keep ´Em Down On The Farm?” Immigration, World War And The New Music 1920-1929: “Happy Days Are Here Again!” The Jazz Age And The Birth Of Radio 1930-1937: “Who´s Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf?” Hollywood And The Great Depression 1938-1945: “Sentimental Journey” WWII And The Big Bands 1946-1956: “Music! Music! Music!” Postwar Prosperity And The Rise Of Rock 1957-1964: “Try To Remember” Finale: The Youth Culture Takes Over 1965-1988: “How Do You Keep The Music Playing?” Postscript: Social Upheaval And The British Invasion. In all seven installments of Popular Song As American History, Miller points out various historical items of popular culture, lingo, new inventions, crazes, commercial products and most importantly, the popular songs of each distinct American era. America has never been the same since 1964, and neither has her popular music. Our country´s history and her music apparently move in tandem.
