On Thursday, September 17 at 7:00 p.m., the Leach Library
will host an evening of music, “Wacky songs that made us laugh”, presented by
Mr. Calvin Knickerbocker.
Mr. Knickerbocker, a Nashua, New Hampshire transplant since
1998, has twenty years of experience in education including teaching a variety
of courses from skills and business writing at the University of Texas, Dallas
to musical and historical courses at Rivier University’s Rivier Institute for
Senior Education (RISE).
Popular songs
with humorous lyrics have kept us laughing since Colonial times. We need comic
relief, and songs provide some of the best, though sometimes unintentionally.
Excerpts from hilarious songs help chart the evolution of musical humor from
the 1920s to the 1980s. Selections poke fun at World War II enemies, diets,
television, summer camp, and many other aspects of life. Laugh as you recall
wacky moments from the past and discover new ones with Calvin
Knickerbocker.
This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Londonderry
Leach Library. The event is free and open to the public with seating limited to
the first 90 individuals. It will be held in the library’s lower-level meeting
room. Light refreshments will be served.
