A Folk Music Revival
A Course by Richie Unterberger
Bob Dylan, Peter Paul and Mary, Joan Baez, Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie. A blast from the past brought to you via Richie Unterberger’s presentation of a Folk Music Revival.
Fortunately for us, Richie is returned with a two-part course on the revival of this special music from our earlier years. He also covers the time period in which it was performed. After World War II and peaking in the early 1960’s, the folk revival brought traditional roots music and socially conscious folk-rooted songwriting to mainstream popularity. This course features many rare film and audio clips of the artists mentioned above as well as other giants of the folk era in music in this survey of a hugely influential and social movement.
Richie Unterberger is the author of many books on 1960s music, a university instructor, and a frequent lecturer on rock history at events around the country.
The Bermuda Triangle – Fact or Fiction?
November 15, 2023
Embedded in the North Atlantic Ocean are 440,000 square miles of open sea that occupy a triangular shape from Miami, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda.
The Bermuda Triangle, or the Devil’s Triangle, is an urban legend that generates weird tales about missing airplanes and ships, strange weather phenomena, secret government facilities, and alien encounters dating back to the days of Christopher Columbus.
Similar to the legend of the Loch Ness Monster, there are believers and skeptics. Where did these stories come from and is there any truth to them? Join us to find out.
