Josh Kun Discusses and Signs Songs in the Key of Los Angeles at Vroman's Bookstore

Josh Kun discusses and signs Songs in the Key of Los Angeles: Sheet Music from the Collection of the Los Angeles Public Library, 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 20 at Vroman's Bookstore, 695 E. Colorado Boulevard Pasadena, CA 91101. 
Culled from the Southern California Sheet Music Collection of the Los Angeles Public Library, this unprecedented anthology tells the story of Los Angeles through its songs. Featuring the elaborately designed covers of more than one hundred pieces of vintage sheet music, Songs in the Key of Los Angeles spans 1859 to 1959, offering a rare musical window into Southern California history. Inside you’ll find California lullabies and Los Angeles waltzes, sunshine rags and sunset serenades, the emergence of West Coast jazz and the legacy of Mexican folk traditions, all accompanied by an essay from the collection’s curator and native Angeleno Josh Kun.
