Well we’re officially 1/12 of the way through 2021 already! Can you believe it? That means it’s time for us to share what’s new on BARD from the Music Section.
Some highlights include a Richard Rodgers piece arranged for brass sextet— the hit “You’ll Never Walk Alone” made famous by Gerry and the Pacemakers, whose lead singer Gerry Marsden passed away earlier this month. In our audio collection, we are happy to share some concerts and interviews from the American Folklife Center here are the Library of Congress.
