Mr. Michael Lasser will speak songs of the Great Depression, particularly on unemployment portrayals of working women, during the decade when popular songs were more interested in work than at any other time. Songs, as always, were about love; yet, at the same time, they reflected the attitudes, values, and behavior of their time. They expressed social concerns within the context of love ballads. In If I Ever Got a Job Again, an unemployed man is eager to find work so he and his beloved can marry. 

Open to the public. All ages welcome. Reservations recommended.
