About the event

Jackie Gleason... The Sound of Muzak

Richard Hovel will tell us about Jackie Gleason: an unlikely Midcentury Modernist and so much more.

About this Event

Go down the Gleason Rabbit hole with Richard Hovel as your guide, and discover Gleason’s lifelong fascination with the world of parapsychology. His musical connection to the creation of the MUZAK. His midcentury modern connection to architecture. And his surprising connection to Richard Nixon. Prepare to be amazed.

As usual, the Salon will take place outdoors at the Desert Star.

Please bring a bottle of your preferred beverage or a snack to share - Christmas cookies sound good this time of year! (Refreshments are not provided by S4P; the cost of the ticket covers insurance and event setup.)
