"In part one of the two-part musical this Sunday, FFRF Co-President Dan Barker plays selections from freethinking composers such as Stephen Foster, Scott Joplin, Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin and George & Ira Gershwin. Barker, an accomplished jazz pianist, recorded the show on the Diane Uhl Steinway Piano at FFRF’s headquarters in Freethought Hall in Madison, Wis."
Former xian missionary pianist Dan lost his religious first wife and then married Annie after they met on Oprah....he should do a reunion show with Oprah playing Atheist fave tunes
Really? I had no idea.
Have worked with FFRF 40 YEARS now
Good to know such clever composers were not fooled by dogma. I shall try to catch the programme on YouTube.
Thanks for posting.
The interesting thing is that last week I heard something on public radio that caused me to go to Spotify and play some Gershwin tunes.
