Dollar a Day Boys – A Musical Tribute to the Civilian Conservation Corps in Wisconsin*

Upper Peninsula based singer/storyteller Bill Jamerson will present 'Dollar-a-Day Boys,' an hour long musical tribute to the Civilian Conservation Corps in Wisconsin.  The Civilian Conservation Corps was a federal works program created during The Great Depression. From 1933 to 1941, over 92,000 young men served in Wisconsin.  Dressed in uniform, Jamerson tells stories, reads excerpts from his book, shows a clip from his PBS film and sings original songs with his guitar. It's a nostalgic, fun-filled program with much laughter and many heartfelt stories.  The program is as entertaining as it is important; as honest as it is fun. It's about people both ordinary and extraordinary; with stories of strength, wit and charm.
