History of Rock Music: Through the 70’s

MON: 3/20/17—4/17/17Time: 6:00—8:00 pmCourse: CONT 432 CLL1 CEUs 1Cost: $89Location: Bowman, Room 002

Do you like rock and roll music? Have you ever wondered how it got started? Who the real pioneers were? Where they came from and what inspired them? How did the artists and the music evolve over time? How did rock music influence and interact with society? What messages were in the lyrics? What are the sub-genres of rock? What “tools” did artists use, and how did they evolve over time? This five-week class will explore all of these ques-tions and more, from the roots of blues, country, and 40’s-50’s rock and roll, through the 60’s and 70’s.

We will focus on the artists and songs from blues-rock, country rock, hard rock, progressive rock and more. We will even cover the impact of rhythm and blues, funk, and disco. Also, this class will highlight the impacts of political and social activism, the role of women and minorities, and the beginnings of heavy metal.

Your instructor, Ted Barker, is a life-long rock music enthusiast and musician. He is an avid collector of rock music media and has been attending concerts for over forty years. He is a guitarist and vocalist in the classic rock band Pariah, an avid reader of rock and roll publications and biographies, and a graduate of Bridgewater College.

White House Families: Glory and the Guts!

MON: 3/20/17—4/17/17 Time: 6:00—8:00 pmCourse: CONT 440 CLL1 CEUs 1Cost: $89Location: Westminster Canterbury, The Abbey

Family considerations for the occupant(s) of the White House are not new. From campaign to service as President, the candidates’ ancestors, his/her sib-lings and offspring have played an important role as part of the story of the presidency – whether the cur-rent President or candidate for office likes it or not.

Family of the candidate for President was a major part of the 2016 Presidential Election Campaign. However, the topic is not new. As history shows, almost from day one, the family of the candidate and or views on family-related issues affects outcomes of the presidency.

From ancient ancestors, to drunken siblings to in-appropriate lobbying while a President is sitting, to children relishing scaring White House visitors, to arrest for hot political issues - the press and histori-ans have a field day with the families of Presidential candidates. This course looks at the effect, if any, of family issues on the run for the Oval Office. In these five weeks, this program looks at what it took to gain office, to stay in office and to the Presidential legacy, all with a view on how the President’s family helped or hindered his term(s) in Office.

This five-week class will concentrate on apparent or even hidden family questions, which have come out as presidential history including candidates for office.

Your instructor, Dr. Charles P. Lickson, has been a longtime instructor at Shenandoah University’s Cen-ter for Lifelong Learning. He is also former Adjunct Associate Professor of Political Science and Public Administration at Shenandoah University where he taught courses on Constitutional Law, Public Admin-istration Ethics and the American Presidency.

FREE Open to Public!

MON: 4/24/17 One Day Only! Time: 7:00—8:30 pm Cost: FREE! Location: Bowman, Room 102

From Ben Franklin to Benghazi, America's diplomats have played a key role in shaping our country’s histo-ry and place in the world. Far from the popular cari-cature of striped pants and parties, modern diploma-cy involves hard work, long hours, some considerable sacrifice, and often danger far from home. A new 55-minute documentary film, “America’s Diplomats” takes you inside the Foreign Service and behind the scenes of U.S. foreign policy. The film explores many aspects of a diplomat’s work, from terrorism (more ambassadors are killed than gener-als) to high-stakes negotiations and representation, to protecting vital commercial and consular interests. Following the screening there will be a discussion.

Your facilitators are two retired diplomats: Former Foreign Service Officer, Mark Lore and Former Span-ish Ambassador to Washington, D.C., Jaime de Ojeda.

Bring a friend to hear about our American Diplomats in their roles around the world.

During this five-week class you will be intro-duced to strategies and technical elements in classical music listening, with the goal of helping participants listen with more awareness, appre-ciation, and enjoyment. After an introductory session, each week will focus on one of the four composers listed above.

We will visit their respective historical contexts and listen to select pieces in detail. Discussion topics may also include: aesthetics and music, personality and musical composition, the nature of "genius," the social and political power of music, and issues in performing music then and now.

Your instructor, Laurie McManus, is an Associate Professor and Area Coordinator of Music History at Shenandoah Conservatory. As a musicologist, harp-sichordist, and cartoonist, she brings a unique per-spective to music history, which is sure to enlighten and entertain.

Historical Novel: Revelation by C. J. Sansom

TUE: 3/7/17—4/4/17Time: 2:30—4:30 pmCourse: CONT 434 CLL1 CEUs 1Cost: $79Location: The Village at Orchard Ridge

Revelation is the fourth of C. J. Sansom’s novels about Matthew Shardlake, a hunchbacked barrister in London, England during the reign of Henry VIII. The novel takes place during years of religious upheaval and political intrigue. Shardlake finds himself en-gaged in investigations commissioned by ArchBishop Cranmer. Shardlake is also trying to solve some murders that seem to have stepped out of the Biblical Book of Revelation.

The last book in the Bible, the Revelation to John, is one of the most misunderstood writings in the Christian Scriptures. Using the historical-critical method of studying ancient texts, the book group will learn the true nature of apocalyptic literature. Apocalyptic writers, starting around 250 BCE, wrote with a common symbol-system sometimes called a code language through which they reflected on the oppressive nature of conquering empires.

During this five-week class you will need to bring a copy of the novel, and a New Revised Version Study Bible. Participants may consult other translations for comparison. The novel and the Study Bible may be purchased new or at a discount on Amazon.com.

Your instructor, Diedra Kriewald, is Emerita profes-sor from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washing-ton, D. C., where she taught for thirty years. Kriewald is also an Adjunct Professor at Shenandoah Univer-sity who awarded her an honorary doctorate for her work in the Ecumenical arena.

the Civil War; a New York Yankee who, other than his more famous house guest, became one of the most noted rebels in Winchester; and a young major who was the driving force in what we call today “Handley Pride.”

African-Americans also played a vital and interesting role in Winchester’s Civil War history. The sad death of one who worked as a porter on the Winchester and Potomac Railroad went a long way in deciding Winchester’s position in the secession crisis.

Depth psychotherapy attends to the totality of the psyche, a Greek word translated in English as soul. The soul desires experience while the self as a per-sonal identity of the individual desires healing, growth, and development. A relationship develops between the soul and self of both client and thera-pist as well as between the individual and the world when experiences are deepened from the perspective of body, mind, and spirit.

The medical model of psychiatric and mental health care primarily focuses on reducing symptoms and managing behavior in the individual. Depth psycho-therapy values all experiences as nourishment for the soul and as potential toward the healthy develop-ment ones self.

This seminar will address the dynamic structure of the psyche as soul, contemporary models of care contrasted with depth psychotherapy, ways to access the soul through dreams, image, imagination, art and embodied psychotherapy, and the presenter’s

SAT: 3/25/17 ONE day only!Time: 9:30 am—12:30 pmCourse: CONT 615 CLL1 CEUs .3Cost: $69 Location: TBA

THE HISTORY: The mountain dulcimer is a myste-rious and beautiful gift to us from the people of the Appalachian Mountains. Where did it come from?

Until recently, its history was almost entirely un-known. Ralph Lee Smith made many field trips to Appalachia, and recovered much of the instrument's remarkable story from the mists of the old mountain frontier. Come and hear Ralph tell you the history of this amazing instrument and see his personal display of authentic old instruments.

Your instructor, Ralph Lee Smith, is a leading au-thority on the history of the mountain dulcimer and American folk music. The University of Tennessee Press has published his book, The Story of the Dul-cimer in a Second Edition. His awards include the National Magazine Award for Public Service, given by the Columbia University Graduate School of Journal-ism, and a Lifetime Achievement Award from West-ern Carolina University for his work in tracing thehistory and roots of the mountain dulcimer.

THE CONCERT: The mountain dulcimer and old Appalachian songs were made for each other. Come and hear songs collected a century ago in the moun-tains, played on an instrument that is one of Ameri-ca's beautiful heritages. Dream of sitting on the porch of a mountain cabin in the springtime as you listen to “Little Turtle Dove,” “Somebody's Tall and Hand-some,” “The Bluebird Song,” and “My Home's Across the Blue Ridge Mountains.”

Concert performed by Ralph Lee Smith and Made-line MacNeil, longtime friends and co-authors of numerous music books, tapes and travels.

COMMUNITYFREE LECTURES

American Diplomats FREE lecture.

From Ben Franklin to Benghazi, America's dip-lomats have played a key role in shaping our coun-try’s history and place in the world. Far from the popular caricature of striped pants and par-ties, modern diplomacy involves hard work, long hours, some considerable sacrifice, and often danger far from home.

Your facilitators are two retired diplomats: Former Foreign Service Officer, Mark Lore and Former Span-ish Ambassador to Washington, D.C., Jaime de Ojeda.

MON: 4/24/17 One Day Only! Time: 7:00-8:30 pm For more information, see page 5

Henry "Box" Brown FREE lecture

Henry Brown escaped from slavery by shipping himself in a box from Richmond to Philadelphia. This bold feat was only the first act of a remarkable career. “Resurrected” from the box as Henry Box Brown, he appeared at antislavery meetings as a singer and speaker.

In 1850, Brown produced a moving panorama; a kind of giant painted scroll presented in a theater, called Mirror of Slavery and toured it around New England and then across the Atlantic. Trace this remarkable journey with Jeffrey Ruggles, former Curator of Prints and Photographs, Virginia Historical Society, and author of The Unboxing of Henry Brown, Library of Virginia, 2003.

MON: 3/17/17 One Day Only! Time: 7:00-8:30 pm For more information, see page 11.

SPECIAL TOUR

Virginia Museum of Fine Arts "Fabergé Revealed!"

The name Fabergé is synonymous with refined craftsmanship, jeweled luxury, and the last days of the doomed Russian imperial family. The array of enameled picture frames, clocks, gold cigarette cases, cane tops, headstone animals, flowers in rock crys-tal vases, and ruby encrusted brooches and boxes continues to fascinate viewers as they did when first displayed in the windows of Faberge’s stores in St. Petersburg, Moscow, and London.

VMFA’s collection, the largest public collection of Fabergé outside of Russia, includes five of the thir-teen Russian imperial Easter eggs that are in the United States.

Join friends as we tour the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts exhibit “Fabergé Revealed” on Friday, March 31, 2017. Seats are limited.

FRI: 3/31/17 ONE day only!Time: 8:30 am — 4:30 pmCost: $109 - Includes, tour, travel, plus lunch
