- catalog abstract ""Back in the 1960s, the Burke Family Singers were America's answer to Austria's von Trapp Family. At the start of that tumultuous decade, when the fabric of the nation's life would be torn by the war in Vietnam and the impassioned drive of the civil rights movement, a large Rhode Island familiy - mother, father and 10 children - set out on the first of what would prove a long series of tours across the United States and Canada. In a time of turbulence, their only purpose was to bring the glorious sound of their music to audiences everywhere." "They performed in major cities and remote small towns, at venues as varied as the Oklahoma City Women's Club, a Bible Belt church, a Native American reservation and television's own Ed Sullivan Show. Among their TV Christmas Specials was a memorable one with Maria Von Trapp and family. They also shared stages with such luminaries as Dick Gregory, Jimmy Durante and Buster Keaton. And they were there to witness the anguish of the Montgomery, Alabama racial uprising." "Sarah Jo Burke, the youngest of the daughters, recalls the events of those years of touring with honesty, warmth, vigor and irresistible charm. Her book celebrates American values in the best sense and demonstrates that the family that sings together stays together."--Jacket.".
