THE MINI-MUSICALS

This is a new blog on which I will post  historical mini-musicals. As in the Harriet Tubman-Underground Railroad  musical  some historical comments are included in the  presentation of the songs. While "Harriet" is a full musical with 17 songs, the historical musicals included in this blog have 2 to 4 songs each.

Music and Lyrics by Susan Maskin

Arranged and performed by Bernie Katzman
