This program is free and will be the introduction to a series of programing that will mark the 250TH anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Following a brief business meeting, musicians Rick Spencer and Dawn Indermuehle will present “Washington’s Favorite, The Nation’s Guest: Songs of Lafayette’s Time in America”. We have hosted several of Rick and Dawn’s programs in the past and all who have attended them know how entertaining and educational they are. Don’t miss this one!

In 1824 the Marquis de Lafayette returned to tour the nation he had fought years earlier to establish. He received a celebrity’s welcome, visited all 24 states and was honored as a surviving hero of the Revolutionary War. This presentation includes six songs that were popular during Lafayette’s time in America during the Revolution, and six that were composed to commemorate his return in 1824. The songs are arranged for two-part a capella vocals or are accompanied on guitar or banjo. The program also includes information about Lafayette’s fascinating life.

Rick Spencer and Dawn Indermuehle develop and present theme-based music and history programs. They present songs that give cultural insight into interesting times, places and events in American history. Rick and Dawn carefully craft their vocals and accompaniment to sound as true to a song’s era or style as possible. Their vast repertoire includes music from the Colonial era to the present day. Rick and Dawn use these songs to illustrate the evolution of our nation’s culture and history in an informative and entertaining way.
