What’s
your favorite music for this season? Do you prefer something folksy like
Stephen Foster’s Old Folks at Home or perhaps a
jubilant march like John Philip Sousa’s Stars
and Stripes Forever. Maybe you’re an Aaron Copland
fan or perhaps Cole
Porter or Duke Ellington.
Whatever your taste, we hope you’ll join us in counting blessings and sharing
in our country’s rich musical history.
