Ain The White House In Tune With History A Musical Journey (NAPSA)—Music, from high art to homegrown, takes us by the hand andby surprise, through the White House past and present. The White House: In Tune With History is an engaging documen- tary profiling the music and musicians who have performed at the White House. The one-hour film was produced by the White House Historical Association. This is a film about America’s house—where presidents and first ladies entertain and are entertained. Where Pablo Casals and Duke Ellington were wel- comed equally and where the Marine Band has performed since 1801—Presidential history with a difference. Since the United States Marine Band, knownas the “President’s Own,” performed on New Year’s Day 1801, the White House halls have echoed with the sounds of classical, folk, opera, jazz, blues, country and western and rock and roll. In Tune With History offers glimpses of black tie evenings, afternoons on the lawn and swinging on the dance floor. And each time, there is a piece of music. The video sells for $19.95.
