Using The 1619 Project as our guide\, we will focus on the themes of each chapter to deepen our understanding of what is happening and how we can better equip ourselves during this challenging time. Where possible\, we will have subject matter experts to lead the discussions\, but we will also rely on each other’s insights.

The time when Baby Boomers were coming of age\, going to school\, dating and learning every new crazy dance that came along? Those young people were growing into their first jobs\, their first loves\, their first apartments\, their first couch and set of dishes. \nAll the time the radio energized us. Happy songs\, sad songs\, slow-dance songs\, lyrics\, melodies\, and stories were all captured in 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Even more\, the radio and jukeboxes had every genre of music playing\, side-by-side. Pop\, rock ’n’ roll\, country\, folk rock\, soft rock\, and romantic ballads all caught our ears during those wonderful decades of the late ’50s\, ’60s and ‘70s. \nGarrett Stack’s American Jukebox® Live will bring those memories back in this unique concert of hit favorites. Playing guitars and singing lead vocals\, Garrett remembers. Join this former Stratford teacher and principal for two hours of the soundtrack of your youth.
