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’s Long Beach Island branch in Surf City on Saturday, Nov. 2 at 2 p.m.

In a program sponsored by the Friends of the Island Library, Bruschi will focus on songs chosen by the American Film Institute as among the greatest in film history.
