Enjoy The Movies’ Greatest Music at the Ocean County Library Long Beach Island Branch

SURF CITY – Music plays a significant part in motion pictures. Great movie songs often become touchstones of our lives. Recall some of the best with entertainer and cultural historian Phil Bruschi during “As Time Goes By – A Tribute to Movie Songs” at the Ocean County Library Long Beach Island Branch, 2 PM Saturday, November 2.

Phil will focus on songs chosen by the American Film Institute as among the greatest in film history. Rendering favorites such as “Over the Rainbow,” “As Time Goes By,” “Moon River” and “The Way We Were,” he’ll provide highlights of the films and details about the actors and recording artists who made them indelible in our memories.

Long known as a multi-talented singing jazz and rock drummer, Phil moved to center stage with a unique style of tunes and tales known as “Edu-tain-Ment.” He has taught at the University of North Carolina and remains involved in continuing education. Fans old and new stay current with Phil through his website, YouTube and Facebook.
