Although the American heritage is influenced by many cultures from around the world, American folk and popular music are built primarily on the foundation of African and British Isles influences. Using some of our best-loved folk songs as examples, Mark’s engaging stories trace these songs through decades of American history and show how the songs changed with the social issues of the day. This is a program of the EIU School of Continuing Education’s Academy of Lifetime Learning, presented in cooperation with the Tarble Arts Center and the Illinois
Humanities Council Road Scholars Speakers Bureau.
