Dollar a Day Boys! A Musical Tribute to the Civilian Conservation Corps

September 26, 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM @ Tolzman Community Room

Join us for an evening of folk songs, heartwarming ballads and foot-stomping jigs! Author/songwriter Bill Jamerson will present a music and storytelling program about the Civilian Conservation Corps. The CCC was a federal works program created by President Franklin Roosevelt in the heart of The Great Depression. During its nine year run beginning in 1933, ninety two thousand young men worked in Wisconsin camps. There was a CCC camp located one mile southeast of Mequon that opened in June of 1939. Jamerson will share stories about the CCC, read excerpts from his novel, show a short video clip from his PBS film and sing original songs with his guitar. Some of the songs Jamerson performs with his guitar include "Franklin D.," written by an appreciative CCC Boy, "Chowtime," a fun look at the camp food, "City Slicker," which tells of the mischief the boys find in the woods, and "Tree Plantin’, Fire Fightin’ Blues" that tells of the hardships of work out in the woods.
