The American Artist is a biographical docu-drama about George Caleb Bingham. His childhood was spent in the American frontier along the Missouri River. A self-taught painter, his natural talent, relentless ambition, and strategic friendships propelled him into the world of politics. He was a successful artist, politician, and family man ... but it all fell apart. His home, family, career, and life s work were all but lost as the American Civil War split his world in two. A century after his death, George Caleb Bingham s work was not only rediscovered, it is celebrated as a National Treasure. His paintings, his politics, his life are a testament to his perseverance, ingenuity, and unwavering determination. An America, long since forgotten, is preserved through his life s work.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k-dRkM5-2MGeorge Caleb Bingham (March 20, 1811 - July 7, 1879) was an American artist, soldier and politician known in his lifetime as "the Missouri Artist". Initially a Whig, he was elected as a delegate to the Missouri legislature before the American Civil War where he fought against the extension of slavery westward. During that war, although born in Virginia, Bingham was dedicated to the Union cause and became captain of a volunteer company which helped keep the state from joining the Confederacy, and then served four years as Missouri's Treasurer. During his final years, Bingham held several offices in Kansas City, while also serving as Missouri's Adjutant General. His paintings of American frontier life along the Missouri River exemplify the Luminist style.

Fleetwood Mac: 1960’s-Present – Music History Livestream
Let’s travel back in time to hear the great sounds of Fleetwood Mac, the first time they’ve been featured in our music history series. We’ll go all the way back to the band’s roots in the 1960’s and continue through their classic songs from the 1970’s and 1980’s. Of course we’ll also hear some of the group’s solo efforts. In addition to hearing great music we’ll also weave in other historical and cultural aspects from this area.
Live Aid London 1985: 40th Anniversary - Music History Livestream
Live Aid was a two-venue benefit concert and music-based fundraising initiative held on Saturday, 13 July 1985. The event was organised by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise further funds for relief of the 1983–1985 famine in Ethiopia, a movement that started with the release of the successful charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas?" in December 1984. Billed as the "global jukebox", Live Aid was held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia.
We’ll see highlights from the London performers which included …
Coldstream Guards
Status Quo
The Style Council
The Boomtown Rats
Adam Ant
Ultravox
Spandau Ballet
Elvis Costello
Nik Kershaw
Sade
Sting, Phil Collins & Branford Marsalis
