In the post-war years, the Great American Songbook carried on much as it had before the war, with a rarefied group of incredibly intelligent lyricists and songsmiths creating clever new ways to address topics that are as old as time itself.

Like most of our previous shows dedicated to the Great American Songbook, this show is dominated by first-class love songs.
