Origins: 60’s Rock Classics

Members & Non, All Ages

Thursday, April 11, 2024  | 7:00 p.m.
This event will be held upstairs in the Wiesman Room

We’re all familiar with many outstanding songs from the second decade of Rock and Roll such as Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love”. What is less known is that the melodies for many songs of this era were written decades, or in some cases centuries, earlier! Join presenter, Richard Knox, as he reviews examples of songs in this category, compares them to the original, and examines how the adaption from classical themes to Rock was accomplished so successfully. Richard has previously lectured at various JCC’s, libraries, and on the 2024 Malt Shop Cruise. His presentations give insight on important moments in the American Pop Music Tradition. This event is open to members and non members. Registration is required. Learn more at www.rknoxlectures.com.
