60's Rock and Roll history

Barry Drake presented a powerpoint of the music and major events of the 1960’s. He described what came about in each year of the sixties and how the music from then molded into the rock we have today. It was amazing to realize how many of the songs I have heard before. To think that artists I have listened to participated in some of the movements going on years. It’s interesting to know.
The preface was actually an assignment for Composition but I enjoyed it. I was feeling tired that night and had no intentions in going but considering it was mandatory I went. Once I arrived and the music played I eased up. There was a point during the slideshow that they started to burn incenses to create the atmosphere and I found it to be very creative. I think these type of event are helpful in meeting new people and dicovering their interests.
