Why were they so popular? Who wrote, played, and sang them? Who danced and "romanced" to them? What made them unforgettable both on the fighting and home front? This one woman concert/lecture delves into it all and in the process reveals how the "Spirit" of the time was uplifted by these songs . . . to hope for a time of peace and an end to a terrible and frightening war.
