BWW Interviews: Boston Pop's Keith Lockhart
by Joseph F. Panarello - May 3, 2010

Women no longer lace themselves into corsets, and men no longer Brilliantine their hair. Black vinyl records now exist solely on the shelves of collectors, and if one were to order a strawberry phosphate at the local luncheonette, he or she would be greeted by a look of utter confusion on the other side of the counter.
