Series explores music and shared memory through music history Chandler’s Our Stories Speaker Series returns with three free presentations about shared history through music, beginning 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 17, at the Chandler Sunset Library, 4930 W. Ray Rd. Guest speakers will share stories and first-person accounts enhanced with multimedia presentations, demonstrations and music. The series is presented by the Chandler Museum, Chandler Public Library and Chandler Historical Society. “Each of us remembers times in our lives when we heard a song on the radio, at a live show or around a campfire,” said Jody Crago, Chandler Museum’s administrator. “The fall speaker series explores some of the most well-known music and songs in American history, as well as songs that aren’t as well-known performed by singers we all recognize.” The first presentation is “From Liverpool to Abbey Road” by rock historian Vincent Bruno, who also will discuss the excitement of Beatlemania and each band member’s post-Beatles work. The program is made possible by Arizona Humanities.
