MONDAY: Simon & Garfunkel 101 (only a few dozen FREE spots left)
Also coming up: Peter, Paul & Mary 101; Carole King 101; Billy Joel 101; Rodgers & Hammerstein 101; Sondheim series
NOTE: Sign-ups for the Singer-Songwriter series are nearly full. They will be capped at 1,000 free registrants, so sign up now. (As of Friday afternoon there were only a few dozen slots left in both the Simon & Garfunkel and the Peter, Paul, & Mary classes.)
At Noon ET on Monday, November 9, Jewish Culture 101 will continue its five-part “Singer-Songwriter” course with a close look at the early music of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. In what ways are Paul Simon’s lyrics more poetic than most lyrics? What does the song “America” say about America? What is the political message behind “Sounds of Silence,” and how does the structure of the song enhance that message? What gives “The Boxer” its punch?
For the first 1,000 registrants, the class is free of cost. Sign up: bitly.com/BenkofSingers

November 16 Peter, Paul & Mary 101
