Swing into History: Music of the Big Band Era

Event Type: Music
Age Group(s): Adults
Date: 3/6/2017
Start Time: 1:00 PM
End Time: 2:30 PM
Description:
 When folks talk about listening and dancing to the bands of the 1930s and 40s, they frequently mention "jitterbugging" to a swing tune. However, the romantic ballads were most often the big hits on radio's "Your Hit Parade". Music historian Erik Larson will feature a mix of both sweet and swing tunes and include a few surprises to engage all musical tastes! On the day of the program free tickets (limit two) can be picked up at the Customer Service Desk from the time the Library opens until capacity is reached. Please park in the church parking lot next to the Library. Sponsored by Arizona Humanities and the Sun Lakes Friends of the Library.
