Altadena's own British-Invader-pop-star-turned-vintage-tunesmith Ian Whitcomb brings his ukulele stylings to Tea & Tunes, a Pasadena Museum of History salon to be held at the Altadena Town & Country Club on Thursday at 2 PM. An elegant tea accompanied by Victorian/Edwardian era popular music -- what could be better? Tickets are $45 for museum members, $50 for non-members, reservations are required and are available here.
This is one in a series of salons to be held at the club to explore that era as part of the museum's current exhibition, Pasadena Patron: The Life and Legacy of Eva Scott Fenyes. Future salons include "Quackery, Snake Oil and Flim-Flam Medicine" on Sept. 16, "Straight-Laced and Buttoned-Up: Dress and Undress at the Turn of the 20th Century" on Oct. 22; "Artful Giving," or how the era did Christmas, Nov. 11; and "Behave Yourself! Manners for Proper Ladies and Gentlemen" on Jan. 27, 2011. It sounds like proper fun!
