They Can't Take That Away From Me with author Ben Yagoda
Everyone knows and loves the American Songbook. But what's less understood is how, around 1950, this stream of great songs seemed to dry up. What came over the radio was no longer Gershwin, Porter, and Berlin, but "Come on-a My House" and "How Much is that Doggie in the Window?" followed a few years later by Elvis and rock and roll. What happened, and why? Acclaimed cultural historian Ben Yagoda answers these questions and more in his newest book, The B-Side.
Single tickets for this event are $15 each; Premier Passes (good for all JBF author events throughout the year) are $85.00.
Half-price student tickets are available only at the J's Box Office at the Staenberg Family Complex in Creve Coeur with a valid ID.
