 While some Depression-era songs and singers offered entertainment and escape, others gave voice to the all-too-harsh realities of the times. Panelists will explore folk and country music of the South and West, hard-knock Blues of the '30s, and escapist Broadway show tunes by composers such as George Gershwin and Cole Porter. |
