The Great American Songbook (sing along songs for seniors)
with Lorraine Masure
It’s what we loved to do; right?
Sing along to the radio, the record player and later, the new invention that gave us “Bandstand.” Some of the most singable, nostalgic tunes have been thoughtfully culled for this course. We won’t talk titles here, but we will name-drop artists such as Garland, Holly, Reeves, Armstrong, Diamond, Buffett, and Charles. Students will be emailed the words to the upcoming songs prior to each class. At each meeting, we will learn a little about the music and the artist before we enjoy the music. (Because ZOOM is incompatible with sing-a-longs, students will be muted only during the video during which time they may simply listen or sing as loudly as they wish!).
Lorraine Dutile Masure has led senior college courses about Broadway musicals across four academic venues during the past10 years. She continues to delight connecting with seniors and discussing the alluring world of music and theatre.
