Enjoy music from the 1870s as part of the Gail Borden Public Library’s Community Read of "News of the World" by Paulette Jiles. Please register.

Music played a part in the story of Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd, the main character in the One Book, One Community selection News of the World. The Captain reminisces about songs he heard as a 16 year old fighting in the War of 1812. Other songs popular during different times throughout the Captain’s life are mentioned in the book up to the 1870’s. Musician Phil Passen will perform these songs so familiar to the Captain. He has been playing the hammered dulcimer for many years and is a member of Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music.

Limited chairs will be available please bring blankets or lawn chairs.

Note: In case of rain, concert will be moved indoors to Community Rooms ABC.  Limited seating so accommodations will be on a first come basis from the list of registrants.
