Three IN-PERSON sessions June 3, 10, 17 We will listen to and learn about songs and groups that have been banned from radio and television in our country and others. Some songs were considered too explicit sexually, others too much about drugs. Some songs, government just didn’t approve of. Tom Dell has played rock ’n’ roll, rhythm and blues, and some country since 1957 in dives and clubs on the East Coast and Atlanta.
