Remember those special interest presentations by classmates at the 50th Reunion, Augustyn's Supreme Court, Bell's Cosmology, Cooke's Birds, du Moulin's Sailing, Wonson's Music and Zarchy's Story Telling? Well, we're bringing new seminars back in Zoom sessions that we're calling Webinars. You've come to the right place to sign up so read on. If you want to relive any of those great presentations, click on the descriptions under the photos.
All programs are organized and presented members of the Class of 1968. They put a lot of effort into preparing a great program. We hope you'll join in. And if you can't join us for the live presentation, the programs will be recorded and you can watch later.

Jack Hopke
The Interface of Jazz and Rock in the 60s and 70s

Jack Hopke will rather foolishly and presumptuously dabble publicly in murky matters of musical definition, re-definition, and the undefined. He'll play us a tune and ask, "Is this rock?" or "Is this jazz?" or "Is this classicaljazzrockfolksoulfusion?"
The many fluid cultural and technological elements whose evolutions we observed -- and individually and collectively created, as well -- in the dynamic 1960s and 1970s helped form fascinating new sounds and styles during the years when most of us were paying most attention to popular music. The commingling of jazz and rock genres, specifically, in those decades produced delightful recordings by, among many others, Jeff Beck, Jethro Tull, The Allman Brothers, and The Rolling Stones, and that's just names we know from rock. From the jazz side, we'll hear Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock; from folk and folk/rock there's Joni Mitchell and Janis Ian, again among others.
The artists will do most of the talking on The Interface of Jazz & Rock in the 60s and 70s.
