Michael Lasser, writer, broadcaster, lecturer and music critic, New York Lesser, host of the nationally syndicated public radio show Fascinatin' Rhythm , will present a special program linking Norman Rockwell and music. One could say the same about American popular music - the songs of Irving Berlin, the Gershwins, Johnny Mercer, and so many others. They held up a mirror to American life. Using recordings and slides, Lasser will take a journey through this period of Rockwell images and song. This event will be presented twice.
