Your're A Grand Old Rag at La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts

YOU'RE A GRAND OLD RAG, aptly named thanks to the famous Paragon Ragtime Orchestra, celebrating the music of the legendary GEORGE M. COHAN on June 30that 2 PM. Recognized even today as the iconic Yankee Doodle Dandy, Cohan became synonymous with Americanism through his rousing songs "Over There," "You're a Grand Old Flag," "Give My Regards to Broadway" and more. Today, the national dialogue brings this Congressional Gold Medal winner front and center. "As bands all across the U.S. play his songs this 4thof July, it's timely to ask: are we in concert – or in conflict – with the brand of patriotism Cohan symbolized and wrote about?" says La Mirada's Artistic Director, BT McNicholl.
