\nTurn back the dial fifty years to the music that shaped a decade &mdash\; and coincided with HVI&rsquo\;s own founding. In this lively program\, Dennis Cole\, Ph.D.\, a Library Technician in the Music Division of the Library of Congress and author of A History of Popular Music in America\, takes HVI on a tour through the 1970s&rsquo\; defining sounds\, from the artists everyone remembers to the deep cuts most have forgotten. Along the way\, Cole reveals rare copyright deposits from the Library&rsquo\;s collection &mdash\; published and unpublished sheet music submitted for copyright registration &mdash\; offering a different look at songs listeners think they already know. He also traces how vinyl\, cassettes\, 8-tracks\, and shows like Soul Train shaped the way people experienced this music and spotlights the local venues &mdash\; Wolf Trap among them &mdash\; that brought the era&rsquo\;s biggest names close to home. The talk closes with a special focus on 1976\, the very year HVI was founded. \; \;
