William C. Sano Returns With "Four Icons Of American Music'

Four-part lecture series begins Oct. 30 at Old Meeting House with a look at the life of Judy Garland.

William C. Sano returns for another wonderful series featuring four of our great American singers. Sano has been a pianist, organist, vocal music teacher and choral conductor for over forty-five years.  

We start off with Judy Garland on October 30, 2012. She started performing at age 2 1/2 as “Baby Francis Gumm” and was fired by MGM. 

Tony Bennett follows on November 6. He never finished high school, served in WWII, leads a secret life as a watercolorist under his original name and is still performing at 86.

November 20 brings us “Old Blue Eyes” who learned music by ear (never learned to read music), was a founding member of the Rat Pack and enjoyed a successful career as a film actor.
