Tuesday, October 8, 2019 9:30:17 AM PDTThe English Department and Faculty Speaker Committee welcome Steve Pick, author of St. Louis Sound: An Illustrated Timeline, for a reading on Thursday, Oct. 10, at 1:30 p.m. in Pearson House room 2. The book is a remarkable compendium of 170-plus entries—each a micro-essay as entertaining as it is informative—spanning more than 100 years of St. Louis music history. Pick and his savvy collaborator Amanda Doyle have fashioned an unabashed love letter to the city’s rich and varied tradition of jazz, blues, folk, rock ‘n’ roll, R&B, country, hip hop, and more, accompanied throughout by a lavish array of photographs. english
