Ep 19 - Second Half, Part 1: Peggy Lipschutz

Welcome back! This season, we bring you Second Half: a new series drawn from the interviews we've collected as part of our oral history partnership with StoryCorps, featuring Old Town School folks and their stories. In part one, we introduce you to Chicago artist Peggy Lipschutz, who is about to celebrate her 100th birthday. She’s been part of the Old Town School community since its earliest years, and her artwork still adorns the school walls today. Original recordings featured in this episode (in order of occurence): - “Glory of Love” performed by Big Bill Broonzy live at Circle Pines Center, circa 1950s - StoryCorps interview between Peggy Lipschutz & Peg Browning, Chicago, IL, 10/14/2017 - “Oh Mary Don’t You Weep” performed by Mark Dvorak and co., Old Town School of Folk Music, circa 2010s - “In the Port of Amsterdam” performed by Fred Holstein, Chicago, IL, circa 1970s
