Soundtrack of the Century

I've always been fascinated by the roots of modern music. PBS has just started an eight part series about this very topic. I've only watched the first ten minutes of Popular Song: Soundtrack of the Century but I'm already inspired to write about it. Watch it! Lots of great footage of the Lower East Side from almost 100 years ago. Gershwin, Berlin, ragtime! I love it!


Organ grinders love PBS!
