Tuesday, July 28 A special Tanglewood

The groups and performers we were able to see during our summers were often quite remarkable. This Lenorlog entry perfectly captured the pop culture of that time. Coincidentally, Mary Poppins is making the rounds again.
Sylvia Greenwald reports:
"On July 28, 1965, the Golobs and the Hill and Lane went to Tanglewood to hear the Boston Pops. The orchestra played some Spanish selelctions; "Mary Poppins"; some marches' and two groups of selelctions chosen by Duke Ellington. (The orchestra accompanied Duke Ellington while he played piano.)
Almost half a dozen encores were played, includin Beatle songs, "More", a march and some TV themes; The Tab commercial, "The Munsters," and "The Man from U.N.C.L.E."
We all enjoyed ourselves. (Especially since afterwards, we all had double dip ice-cream cones at Friendly's!)"
