Explore the cultural impact of World War I through the music of the time. American attitudes changed dramatically during World War I, a shift reflected in popular music of the time, from 1915's anti-war “I Didn’t Raise My Boy To Be a Soldier” to 1918's patriotic “Over There.” We invited a three-piece ensemble to perform popular songs of World War I to trace this change in American attitudes. Peabody Award-winning radio personality Michael Lasser discusses how the nation changed during this time.
