Getting Schooled: Hoagy Carmichael's Music Shop (1970)

 Legendary songwriter Hoagy Carmichael signed on with PBS to host a children's music program, Hoagy Carmichael's Music Shop, which aired back in 1970, produced at WGBH in Boston, the same affiliate that also produced shows like Zoom during the decade of the 70's.

Hoagy's son, Hoagy B. (Bix) served as a producer for the series. Background music was performed by the group Stark Reality, which released a 2 album set of material from the show.

Following is a sample entry:


7 year old me never saw this show, because my folks didn't tune in to PBS at the time much. Plus, it was probably on during school hours.

No rating. Just a public service.
