Our July sojourn through some of Studs Terkel’s American-centric programs continues. This week, a musical hour, from July 1981. Here, Studs conjures a musical reminiscence of days gone by. The hour includes the mighty Wurlitzer organ, heard in so many movie palaces of the past; Scott Joplin’s Treemonisha; a tribute to Lucky Lindbergh, Eagle of the USA; Jazz by Louis Armstrong and Earl Hines; and so much more.
