S2 Ep2109: MUSIC SCENE Dr. Mark Evans America 250 Patriotic Music History

In this episode of Music Scene, Lunchtime Conversation host Nanette Wiser chats with author, composer, pianist and radio/tv show host Dr. Mark Evans who has spent his career preserving and promoting America's cultural and musical heritage. Learn more here. [https://www.culturalconservation.org/our-musical-heritage/] Did you know that a composer signed the Declaration of Independence? America has a rich musical heritage, but it is in danger of falling into an undeserved oblivion. Classical music, jazz, film scores, and the masterpieces of musical theater are an essential part of our history. "Our Musical Heritage" by Mark Evans explores America's musical past, provides a link to our musical present, and distills the essence of our nation's musical spirit from the music itself. From unsung heroes to the musical giants of the modern age, meet the composers, conductors, performers, and teachers who gave us an incredible legacy. "Our Musical Heritage" guides you on an exciting journey of discovery that can make the world of music a part of your daily life. American concert music has pursued a unique journey. "Our Musical Heritage" introduces a musical Founding Fathers, Francis Hopkinson, the composer who signed the Declaration of Independence, Francis Scott Key who wrote the words to "The Star Spangled Banner." and John Philip Sousa, the March King. We meet Lowell Mason, the father of music education in the United States and the important composers and conductors who devoted their lives to pursuing a truly American style of music, from "Yankee Doodle" to Carnegie Hall, we must rediscover our musical history. Jazz has been called America's classical music. From the early days of pioneering African American musicians in New Orleans through the masters of stride piano in Harlem, from the swing era of big bands through the age of bebop, jazz evolved as a unique art form. Jazz is defined by two elements, improvisation (simultaneous composition and performance) and swing. The finest jazz musicians created a legacy that has traveled around the world. American musical theater was born of Viennese operetta, British music halls, immigrants from Ireland, Austria, Germany, Hungary, and Russia, the sounds of jazz from New Orleans to Chicago, the folk-songs of African Americans, and even the Italian operatic tradition. From this musical melting pot, a remarkable group of composers, lyricists and playwrights fashioned a musical genre and a Great American Songbook quite unique with skill, technique, imagination, and a touch of magic. Music in the movies comes from the pens of the talented composers who have written the scores that give life, energy, and emotion to motion pictures, which have captivated audiences around the world. #americamusicalheritage #oneplacemanyvoice #musicscene #markevans #culturalconservationist #america250 #nanettewiser stpete #stpetefl  #tampabay #radio #radiostpete #cityofstpete  #dtsp #downtownstpete

S2 Ep2108: ONE PLACE, MANY VOICES Amy Cianci & Sharon Centanne - Lealman Yesterday & Today

(Airs 6/9/2026) In this episode, longtime resident and historian Sharon Centanne and Lealman Exchange [https://lealmanexchange.org/] and St. Pete Press publisher Amy Cianci talk about Lealman now and in the past.  Lealman's history began in the 1870s when Elza B. Lealman, a former Suwannee County sheriff, relocated to the Pinellas Peninsula to farm strawberries and citrus. Originally a massive, rural settlement stretching across present-day Pinellas Park and St. Petersburg, it has uniquely retained its unincorporated status amid intense surrounding city growth.  [Note: Sharon reference to WW2 at 5:10 should be WW1] Key Historical Milestones * 1895: A train station was formally established and designated on Hillsborough County maps as "Lealman Station" near present-day 52nd Avenue North, facilitating local agricultural trade. [1 [https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/7ea752d126684c9283b9531c3b6f6680], 2 [https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/12b34a32dd3148fba24f4b872b6fad66]] * Early 1900s: The area functioned as a hub for egg farms and dairy routes before the Florida real estate boom shifted the focus to residential development. [1 [https://www.tampabay.com/archive/1991/01/28/lealman-grew-from-pioneer-family-s-home/], 2 [https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/12b34a32dd3148fba24f4b872b6fad66]] * The Era of Annexation: As neighboring cities (such as St. Petersburg and Pinellas Park) incorporated and expanded, they steadily annexed portions of Lealman's unofficial territory. To protect their geographic identity and resources, residents and local activists pushed back and fought for established planning borders.  * 2000: The Lealman Fire District was reorganized by legislative action and voter support into an independent taxing district, remaining one of the most vital community organizations in the area. * 2010: The census-designated place (CDP) previously known as West and East Lealman was divided, with East Lealman officially becoming simply "Lealman". [1 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lealman,_Florida]] * 2015: In a major effort to fight the eroding tax base and stop further annexation, the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners established the Lealman Community Redevelopment Area (CRA). This marked the first redevelopment area in unincorporated Pinellas County.  Today, the Lealman CRA continues to drive reinvestment while its fiercely proud community—often calling themselves "Lealmanites"—retains a unique identity rooted in their historical independence.  #oneplacemanyvoices #sharoncentane #amycianci #pinellascountyhistory #lealmanhistory #heritagevillage #america250 #floridahumanities #nanettewiser #stpete #stpetefl  #tampabay #radio #radiostpete #cityofstpete  #dtsp #downtownstpete
