Saul Jacobs offered commentary on WWII-era songs to a packed room in the Culver City Senior Center on Thursday in honor of Veterans Day. The event, "Songs That Won the War," is part of a series of performances by Jacobs and company and included audience participation as he walked through the audience, encouraging veterans and non-veterans alike to join in the fun.

Members of the audience listened intently to Jacobs as he gave the historical context of each song and then sung along to such tunes as "I'll Be Seeing You," "As Time Goes By"  and "God Bless America." 

"We bring the music and the people bring the memories," Jacobs said.
