Fri. 2 pm. “The Pitch of the Pandemic” 04/15/2022.
The Common Good: “The Pitch of the Pandemic” – April 15, 2022 – 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Like most crises, the 1918 flu pandemic shaped art, literature, and music — such as Essie Jenkins’ “1919 Influenza Blues.” COVID is already doing so as well. How have musicians framed the experience of epidemics in our current times and the past? This week, Leigh plays some of the tunes that mark the tenor of our times. Listen to WRUU 107.5 FM in Savannah and globally @ wruu.org.
