We Sang and Whistled Then by John H Evans
There is a magic to music-a feeling created that removes one from the humdrum constraints of everyday life to a wonderful make-believe world where, as famous lyricist E. Y. (Yip) Harburg put it in 'Over the Rainbow', troubles melt like lemon drops and dreams really do come true. In this book, you'll meet the men of the early twentieth century who wrote the most wonderful creative music the world has ever known. Their music was matched by the brilliance of the lyricists, who were indeed the poets of the modern age. These men created a superb anthology of popular music, a canon that today is justifiably known as the Great American Songbook.John H. Evans is the Tata Chancellor's Chair in Social Sciences, Professor of Sociology, and Co-Director of the Institute for Practical Ethics at the University of California, San Diego.
