Interesting class at Manchester CC we missed...

Blues columnist and DJ Domenic Forcella will be offering “Blues: Music for the Spirit” beginning April 8th
The goal of the course is to start with the early origins of the blues and follow its evolution to today’s formats and presentations. The course will assist the newcomer to the blues and enhance the experience for those familiar with it. Both the National and Connecticut scene will be examined and discussed. Materials for class presentation will include lecture/discussion, CDs, DVDs, and books. Liberal use of the instructor’s extensive photo collection will put the class right at many of the events being discussed. At the completion of the class, participants will be familiar with various incarnations of the blues and its growth.

Helping to round out the course will be inclusion of blues Record labels, the Blues Foundation and related organizations. The non-credit will run from 7 to 9 pm over 6 weeks. The course is 11983. For more information contact Dom Forcella at TWBlus@aol.com.
