The Great American Songbook represents the popular music that came out of American theater and stage performances. The band instrumentation includes sweet vocals, guitar, piano, flute, ukulele, keyboard, and bass. Many of the songs are vocal in nature and include beautiful blues and jazz standards. While not commonly heard today, the majority of the songs are classics and will enliven the ears of the audience. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Many of the songs have interesting historical aspects and the performing artists will include informal and engaging conversation with the audience about the songs’ place in history. Kazoos will be offered to the audience and then everyone will be invited to join in with the program to play musical interludes to songs such as "Yes Sir, That’s My Baby" or "Ain’t Misbehavin'’" This is a memorable and engaging event for all ages. Sponsors of this music are Roots of American Music, Cuyahoga Arts and Culture, and the Ohio Arts Council. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>For more information or to buy tickets, visit </span><a href="http://www.stockerartscenter.com"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>www.stockerartscenter.com</span></a><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#595959'> </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>or call (440) 366-4040.<span style='color:#595959'><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Kim Carrasquillo</span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#1F497D'>| Writer/Project Coordinator, Marketing and Outreach Initiatives</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#522C1C'><br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:gray'>Lorain County Community College</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:gray'> </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:gray'>| 1005 N Abbe Road</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:gray'> </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:gray'>| Elyria, Ohio 44035<br>t: 440.366.4822</span><span lang=FR style='font-size:10.0pt;color:gray'> f: 440.366.4113 e: </span><u><span lang=FR style='font-size:10.0pt;color:blue'><a href="mailto:kcarrasq@lorainccc.edu">kcarrasq@lorainccc.edu</a><o:p></o:p></span></u></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=FR style='font-size:10.0pt;color:gray'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:4.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:4.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.lorainccc.edu/"><span style='color:#1F497D;text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=25 height=25 id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.jpg@01CFD1B8.39E04360" alt="Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: \\fs01\Marketing\Full Time\Logo file\LCCC blue square only.jpg"></span></a><span style='color:#1F497D'> </span><a href="http://www.lorainccc.edu/up"><span style='color:#1F497D;text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=25 height=25 id="Picture_x0020_2" src="cid:image002.jpg@01CFD1B8.39E04360" alt="Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: UP Square"></span></a><span style='color:#1F497D'> </span><a href="http://facebook.com/lorainccc" target="_blank" title=Facebook><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#0059B2;text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=25 height=25 id="Picture_x0020_3" src="cid:image003.png@01CFD1B8.39E04360" alt="Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Facebook"></span></a><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#333333'> </span><a href="http://twitter.com/lorainccc" target="_blank" title=Twitter><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#0059B2;text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=27 height=27 id="Picture_x0020_4" src="cid:image004.png@01CFD1B8.39E04360" alt="Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Twitter"></span></a><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#333333'> </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/lcccwebvideo" target="_blank" title=YouTube><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#0059B2;text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=27 height=27 id="Picture_x0020_5" src="cid:image005.png@01CFD1B8.39E04360" alt="Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: YouTube"></span></a><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#333333'> </span><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/company/lorain-county-community-college" target="_blank" title=LinkedIn><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#0059B2;text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=27 height=27 id="Picture_x0020_6" src="cid:image006.png@01CFD1B8.39E04360" alt="Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: LinkedIn"></span></a><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Bradley Hand ITC";color:#333333'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
