An Hour of Musical Oddities

Frank King’s lecture will include an eclectic collection of short, amusing pieces of music from 1928 to 1972, including: • Song medleys saluting the 50 states of the USA, 5 of our greatest baseball players, and the great country music composer Roger Miller • Three funny parodies by Allan Sherman • A Gilbert & Sullivan classic song, “explained” • Walt Disney’s personal favorite from all his movie music • Contributions from Tom Lehrer, Noel Coward, John Sebastian… even Bob Newhart! …And much more! Mr. King holds a Masters in Broadcasting from Boston University and a BA from Princeton. A lifelong devotee of recorded music, he has hosted music programs on WBUR radio, and was a News Producer at WCVB TV and an Asst. Professor at B.U.. His lectures draw from the music and art from his personal collection of over 2500 record albums. He’s presented several hundred highly acclaimed music lectures around Greater Boston and Cape Cod since 2014.
