Bye, bye, Miss American Pie... Instructor Lorraine Dutile Masure invites you to join her in the discussion / interpretation of the poem-video of America as Don McLean saw it in 1971. And while, over many years, we guessed at the impressionistic images of these lyrical icons, guessing only became a parlor game – the exact opposite of the composer’s intent he later admitted. . The theme of the song goes way beyond mourning McLean's childhood music heroes, reflecting the deep cultural changes and profound disillusion and loss of innocence of that generation . . How or why did Pat Boone’s white bucks become Elvis Presley’s blue suede shoes? The chorus music: jingle or dirge? We all lived these years; there are no wrong answers. Let’s discuss... A two-session ZOOM workshop - Wednesday mornings, 9:30 to 11:00, September 23 and 30
