This booklet is a companion piece to Cecelia Otto's 2022 American Songline program "Prohibition: 90 Years of Temperance, Temptation & Song." Prohibition defined - and divided - America through the 1920s, ushering in an era of dizzying new freedoms even as it sought to curb some of the nation's worst social ills. This program chronicles the entire era through the songs sung by both "wets" and "drys," from Victorian parlor songs to Tin Pan Alley favorites. This booklet features lyrics and program notes for 12 songs spanning nearly a century of history, as well as a specially crafted cocktail (or mocktail!) recipe for each song, along with period photographs and illustrations. Purchased copies also include a link to download a free digital copy of the accompanying album!
