The Walnut Creek Library Foundation’s Live! From the Library series welcomes back musician Dulais Rhys as he discusses the Great American Songbook, its evolution from vaudeville songs of the late nineteenth century through early twentieth century showtunes, and its impact on the music of today. We welcome you to sing along with this interactive program! Light refreshments will be available.
