Editorial Reviews from 2011/2012: I think people will enjoy the history behind vaudeville and how attractive the book is. Senior citizens should love it and schools should use it in music and history classes. --Paul LaPann, Managing Editor--Parkersburg News and Sentinel "McCabe's writing style and her story flow easily and most enjoyably. The photographs of other entertainers of the era and the newspaper clippings and reviews round out what must have been an exciting period in the history of entertainment in the United States. - Laurie Loveman, Author of the Firehouse Family Novels "McCabe's book is short, just 96 pages, but it's wonderfully illustrated with more than 100 photographs, clippings and other vaudeville images. It's a bittersweet - but mostly sweet - homage to a special time, and to a young man's tap dance with fame." - Dean Kahn, Viewpoint-Bellingham Herald "Ostensibly, it is a biography of the author's father, a 1930s entertainer. But Moon Over Vaudeville isn't all about Weldon Barr. It's about a time period. The most fascinating thing about this book is the sense of history it conveys." -Jake Schaperow, The Beacon Newspapers View Less
