Paragons of People's Music - CANCELLED

music6:30 pm in the Community Room

With his unique gravelly, tobacco-scarred, and whiskey-soaked voice and experimental presentation styles, Waits is one of our great composers and performers of "people's music" since the early 1970s. Recognized by Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart, and others, we will be celebrating his music and cultural contributions (he is also a bit of a movie "star").  Visuals and projected lyrics for singing along to Tom's extraordinary and idiosyncratic prestidigitations. Presented by guitarist, singer and West Chester University professor, Doug Morris. All are welcome!
