SUMMARY:Of Thee I Sing: A Musical Tour of American History
DESCRIPTION:Join soprano Tinky Weisblat\, composer/pianist Jerry Noble\, and friends for a reading of the Declaration of Independence\, followed by a brief history of the United States through song. Highlights will include major wars; the best-known campaign song of all time\, “Tippecanoe and Tyler Too”; African-American Spirituals; the temperance movement; the Great Depression; and much more. The audience will be encouraged to sing along on several songs\, from “Yankee Doodle” to “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” \nThe program is part of Hawley Day\, the hamlet of Hawley’s annual reunion\, but is open to the public. On display nearby will be examples of Hawleyites’ creativity\, from metalwork to cookbooks.  \nThis event is free\, sponsored by the Sons & Daughters of Hawley\, several local cultural councils\, and Mass Humanities. Donations to the Sons & Daughters\, Hawley’s historical society\, are welcome\, however.
