The next Music Lovers meeting is scheduled for FRIDAY MAY 10, 2024 at 10:00am in the Church Auditorium.

​

The subject of the meeting will be "“Music of the Great Depression and World War II" presented by Hobbyists Jack Warner.

​

• Our parents lived through some pretty tough times…the Great Depression, followed almost immediately by World War II. That’s 15-years of worries, right in the prime of their lives!

• As children, we may not have appreciated how greatly these events impacted our parents. Or asked ourselves how they ever managed to cope with such difficult forces beyond their control. 

• One important way was in the music they listened to…the Hit Tunes specifically designed to bring comfort and solace…and to lift their spirits when they needed it most.

• In our program, you’ll get a glimpse what daily life was really like for your parents during those times…and get to experience the actual music that helped them see it through.

• Performing their Top Hits, you’ll both hear and see - Rudy Vallee, Bing Crosby, Ruth Etting, Jimmy Durante, Louis Armstrong and Ginger Rogers…Along with Kate Smith, The Andrew Sisters, Spike Jones, Vera Lynn, Glenn Miller, and more.

 

​Join us for a nostalgic and uplifting musical morning…
