A Visit with Mr. Hollywood

« previous episode | next episode »

Monday, August 22, 2005

Singer-songwriter Michael Penn has created a record devoted to one year -- 1947. His newest record, Mr. Hollywood, Jr., weaves historical, political and social events into a series of stories about relationship and romance. He'll perform some of those tunes live in the studio. We'll also hear how the music of 19th century Turkish musicians made good use of the European waltz.
