Gospel songwriters\, Tin Pan Alley tunesmi ths\, and even moonshiners and bootleggers produced a torrent of commentar y on alcohol in song. The mass marketing of sound recordings corresponded closely with the rise of the Prohibition movement\, leaving us with thousa nds of 78-rpm records waxed by songsters on every side of the issue. From the moral tales of family destruction penned by Temperance advocates to th e sly political and comedic songs of Prohibition skeptics and opponents\, music tracked the popular debate and mood. In this presentation\, Dr. Greg g D. Kimball of the Library of Virginia will trace this musical legacy thr ough spoken narrative\, period images\, and live and recorded music. Feel free to sing along!
