Event Details

Thursday, August 1 at 12:00pm. Jerome Kern concluded that Irving Berlin has no place in American music - he is American music. Marty Schneit will discuss how the immigrant from Russia became the classic ragtime-to-riches story from the sale of his first song sold for 37 cents to an estimated 1,500 songs, including Alexander’s Ragtime Band, God Bless America, White Christmas, Puttin on The Ritz, and There is No Business Like Show Business.

Registration required.
