In the serious pursuit of humor, Julie Kurzava compares and contrasts a wide range of songs, discussing the various ways songwriters have kept us entertained. She’ll be featuring some of her favorite writers such as Porter, Gershwin, Rodgers, Sondheim and a few surprises. Whether it be parody, slapstick, satire or comic relief, everyone can use a good laugh!
