Two New Books Highlight American Musical Heritage
New York reviewers hail Vera Brodsky Lawrence and Lester S. Levy for tracing early American song and popular culture. Lawrence's Music for Patriots surveys harmonies and discords to 1876, while Levy's Give Me Yesterday covers 1880 to 1920 with a show business slant. Levy explores sports songs, comic strips, labor unions, Wall Street, and Tin Pan Alley, including a moving piece on the telephone.
