SUMMARY:Acton Senior Center Presents: Greatest Love Songs of All Time Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Join John Clark to reminisce to the sound of these beloved romantic songs\, from lighthearted twenties tunes like Side by Side and I Can’t Give You Anything but Love to more serious standards like All of Me and (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman. Hey\, I’ll bet you a plug nickel that you remember slow dancing to these 1950s favorites: the doo-wop classic I Only Have Eyes for You and a familiar hit song Play Misty for Me. Or how about Rosemary Clooney’s sweet and lovely Tenderly that became a jazz standard and Old Black Magic that got a musical makeover on the lively Louis Prima & Keely Smith version? Other performers and recording artists include the Glenn Miller Orchestra\, Frank Sinatra\, Kay Starr\, Cliff Edwards\, Diane Krall\, Aretha Franklin\, Carole King\, Bobby Vinton\, Louis Armstrong\, Gene Autry\, Art Garfunkel\, The Beatles and more! It’s the month for Valentines so come and take a sentimental musical stroll down Memory Lane! Prior to a career as a high school and adult education teacher\, John Clark worked in music publishing in Nashville. He enjoys sharing his passion for music with senior centers and senior residences. \nOpen to out-of-towners 60+ for $5 \n

SUMMARY:Henry Knox’s Trek from Ticonderoga: Myths\, Realities\, and Results for Boston
DESCRIPTION:In early 1776\, the young Continental Army colonel Henry Knox moved dozens of heavy cannons and mortars from Lake Champlain to the siege lines around Boston; one of the most famous stories from the Revolutionary War. And like many famous stories\, it embodies a fair amount of legend and lore. This talk sorts out what we know\, what we only think we know\, and what we should know about how Knox brought this “noble train of artillery” that helped to make all of Massachusetts independent. \nJ. L. Bell maintains the Boston1775.net website\, offering daily helpings of history\, analysis\, and unabashed gossip about Revolutionary New England. He is the author of “The Road to Concord: How Four Stolen Cannon Ignited the Revolutionary War.” John is working on a new book about the difficult first year of the Continental artillery force. \nRemote Participation: You can watch live on YouTube at Acton TV http://tinyurl.com/Acton-TV. Recordings will be available at Acton TV https://actontv.org/ and on our website https://www.actonma.gov/250 where you’ll find all programming information and a link to our commemorative store
