The Great American Songbook holds historical significance: we played it on our home pianos during the Great Depression, we listened to it on radio hours as breaking news pertaining to not one but two world wars interrupted broadcasts. Now, nearly a century later from the start of the canon, we are beginning to (cautiously) emerge from another nationwide trauma, and within us and this music are stories of resilience. These songs, their melodies and lyrics have not only become cultural touchstones, but personal ones as well.
