The Rock & Roll Capstone Presentations

Mike Masterson and I would like to invite you to attend the presentations for the Rock and Roll Capstone course.

Students were asked to respond to the following question: “If you were going to a deserted island and could only take one album with you, what would you choose and why based on the album’s music, history, and culture?”

As you’ll notice from the schedule listed below, we’ve got a wide range of subjects this year. All presentations will take place in NPA 27.

BTW, we’d also welcome your responses to this question – the students have expressed an interest in the choices others would make.

FWIW, Mike’s decided to take Bob Dylan’s Live 65 while I’ve settled on the Drive-by Truckers’ Southern Rock Opera. Burt Bradley’s taking the Moody Blues’ For Our Children’s Children’s Children (“It’s a complete concept album that brought together all kind of elements that I love.”); Terri Timmons will be packing Josh Groban’s Closer (“His music speaks to my soul.”); Rob Koelling has decided on Sting’s Brand New Day (“This album has a variety of styles that mimics everything from country to rap.”); and Rob Stothart will be bringing along Jefferson Airplane’s Bless Its Pointed Little Head (“This album captures the live aspect of Jefferson Airplane, shows individual performances and influences – plus, it recognizes King Kong.”)

Hope to see you there –
Renee
