7:30 pm
All Souls Church
1157 Lexington Avenue (at 80th Street)
The Young, The Tender, The Brave:
Music of Courage and Loss in Wartime
featuring the songs of:
Stephen Foster, Charles Ives, Irving Berlin, Kurt Weill and composers of the big band era
It's free. I'm going. Let me know if I might see you there.
(A lot of my childhood memories involve sad, sad war songs sung by random bands in random bars my parents took me to or involve watching old movies featuring cameos by the Andrews Sisters with my dad on Sunday afternoons. So this is, aside from the obvious occasion, just one of those things for me, as opposed to whatever supposition some of you may have been harboring; that is all).
